Will the Preds lose him?

With the fourth overall pick in the 2010 NHL Draft, Johansen was chosen by the Columbus Blue Jackets

In a monster trade during the 2015–16 season, on January 6, 2016, Johansen was traded by the Blue Jackets to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Seth Jones.

Hearing that Ryan Johansen's camp asking for at least $8.5 million per on a long-term deal with Nashville. Ryan Johansen is an upcoming RFA.

Ryan Johansen loves Nashville and Nashville love Ryan Johansen. Earlier this year, in an act of true fan support, Nashville’s Mayor Megan Berry bestowed Preds forward Ryan Johansen with the title of Honorary Mayor for the day! How cool is that? Johansen even gave an impromptu speech as the city’s new mayor, but judging from his lack of civic experience we don’t expect any sweeping changes in Nashville under his leadership.
