Mike Ryan closer to home

Instead of signing with a KHL expansion team in Belarus, Michael Ryan has shown up in camp for the Nashville Predators. He is not guaranteed to make the team, but given his talent should have a decent shot at making the roster. This move makes much more sense for him, as most of the players going back to play for Russia are usually from Russia to begin with. Nashville will be an ok team this year, and will have a chance at the playoffs. They are not expected to be a powerhouse, but won't be bad either.
