P.K. Subban ready to embrace Nashville as home

P.K. Subban sees many things in Nashville; an opportunity, a vibe, a reflection of oneself.

The newest member of the Predators and their ascendant defensive corps was introduced to the media Monday, immediately speaking in adulation for the city in which he'll soon establish roots.

"It's been really, really fun. Nashville is a fun city - great people and great energy," Subban said, via TSN.

"I'm a high-energy person. Just really a zest for life, I guess you could say. I wake up every morning and just try to be better - a better person and better at what I do. I feel like Nashville is the type of city filled with people like that."

He added: "There's no question that this is a city that I'm going to embrace as home."

Subban said he feels like a rookie again, entering a new market, organization, and having a new slate of teammates. But he believes the benefit of six NHL seasons will make for a seamless transition.

"I'm definitely more prepared now to understand how to come into a new situation and build - build every day. Build relationships on and off the ice, and just progress and get better every day."

With continued advancements at the individual and team level, Subban believes he's in an environment where he can fulfill his championship aspirations he now shares with a franchise that parted with its captain to acquire him.

"I'm excited about the opportunity to win a Stanley Cup," he said. "That's what this is all about."
