Origin
and identity
Roman Josi became a major Swiss hockey figure through his productive blue-line career and Norris-winning Nashville season.
Nashville selected Josi 38th in 2008, and his NHL career began in 2011–12. His scoring gradually increased, reaching 61 points in 2015–16. He then contributed 14 points in the 2017 playoffs, a postseason that occupies an important place in the Predators' history.
The 2019–20 season brought 65 points and the Norris Trophy. Two years later, Josi recorded 96 points with 73 assists, putting another clear offensive landmark beside the individual award. His archive entry reflects a defenseman whose international visibility grew through sustained contributions in the same NHL setting.
