The twenty-five-year-old just finished his third season with the Predators, scoring 17 goals and seven assists in 80 games played. In four playoff games, Trenin scored three goals. 

Overall, in his NHL career, the young forward has played 146 games across three seasons, all with the Predators, scoring 24 goals and 17 assists. 

Trenin is an aggressive forward, emphasized by his 192 hits this past season, and definitely has long-term upside. It will be interesting to see how he performs in 2022-23 coming off a career season.
