The Nashville Predators have a new star rookie in town, and his name is Juuso Parssinen. The 21-year-old Finn has Smashville buzzing after his debut performance in Saturday's 2-1 win over the New York Rangers. Today, Locked on Preds breaks down what made Parssinen so effective in just his first NHL game, why John Hynes had a longer leash for him as a top six forward than Cody Glass or Phil Tomasino, and why Hynes tagged Filip Forsberg and Mikael Granlund as his debut line-mates. Plus, this week's Plus/Minus segment features some love for Michael McCarron, an honest review of the Preds' reverse retro jersey, a future uniform change we'd love to see, and more questions about the Preds' power play.
