## Resource

The Nashville Predators win the battle for one of the top scorers in the KHL, signing Vitali Pinchuk to an entry-level contract. How does he fit into this lineup and what does he bring to the Predators? Despite no playoffs in Nashville and the end of the postseason in Milwaukee, a handful of prospects are still playing for titles, and so is the Predators' ECHL affiliate: Atlanta Gladiators.Finally, Justus Annunen and Ryan O'Reilly have announced they will play in the 2026 IIHF World Championships in Switzerland. Could any of their Preds teammates join them?
