Kemell's Clock Is Ticking in Nashville

Joakim Kemell’s future with the Predators is starting to look less like a long-term plan and more like a decision that has to be made soon. That is how this league works for young forwards - you can have tools, pedigree, and promise, and still find yourself on the clock the minute the organization starts asking harder questions. Nashville has not exactly been subtle about wanting answers from its young talent, and Kemell’s window is getting tighter by the day.
