Predators have been a d-man factory over the last 20 years.
The following d-men they drafted have played over 500 NHL games (or look like they will).
1998 - Expansion Draft - Kimmo Timonen
1998 - Round 9 - Karlis Skrastins
2001 - Round 1 - Dan Hamhuis
2003 - Round 1 - Ryan Suter
2003 - Round 2 - Kevin Klein
2003 - Round 2 - Shea Weber
2005 - Round 3- Cody Franson
2008 - Round 2 - Roman Josi
2009 - Round 1 - Ryan Ellis
2009 - Round 4 - Mattias Ekholm
2013 - Round 1 - Seth Jones
In comparison the Flames have drafted these d-men who have played 500 NHL games (or look like they will) in the same time frame.
Undrafted - Mark Giordano (Should add him in here to be fair)
2003 - Round 1 - Dion Phaneuf
2008 -Round 4 - TJ Brodie
That's it.
