The Nashville Predators filled out a balanced draft class on Day 2 of the 2008 NHL Entry Draft at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, selecting two defensemen, a pair of forwards and a goaltender. After making five trades, which included picking up a pair of seventh round picks in addition to trading two 2008 fourth rounders for picks in the same round at next year’s draft, Nashville finished the two-day process with three forwards, two defensemen and two goaltenders. With two first-round picks for the first time in franchise history, the Nashville Predators selected Boston University forward Colin Wilson (Seventh overall) and goaltender Chet Pickard (18th overall) of the Tri-City Americans at the 2008 NHL Entry Draft at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa.
