Former Nashville Predators defenseman Nick Blankenburg remains a free agent despite proving to be a valuable depth option for teams. After a trade to the Colorado Avalanche before the 2026 NHL Trade Deadline, he recorded 37 points in 109 games with the Predators, showcasing his effectiveness on both ends of the ice. Although not a typical everyday player for playoff teams, he could serve as a reliable depth asset for contenders or rebuilding teams. Standing at 5-foot-9 and undrafted, Blankenburg has defied odds and warrants a professional tryout as training camp approaches.
