The 20-year-old forward is continuing to develop his game at the American Hockey League (AHL) level with the Milwaukee Admirals and is in the middle of a solid season that saw him play in the 2025 AHL All-Star Classic. In 63 games this season with the Admirals, Kemell has posted 18 goals, 21 assists, and 39 points. Overall, he has shown good upside with the AHL squad, but this is especially the case with his most recent play. Kemell is starting to heat up for the Admirals, as he has three points in his last two contests. This includes a two-goal night against the Iowa Wild in the Admirals' 5-0 win on April 9. Seeing Kemell put together some solid games is undoubtedly encouraging for the Predators. The hope is that the 2022 first-round pick will blossom into a key forward for the Predators in the future, and it will be intriguing to see how he builds on his hot stretch of play from here. In 144 career AHL games with the Admirals, Kemell has 40 goals, 53 assists, and 93 points. He also appeared in his first two NHL games back in February, where he recorded eight shots.
