Predators sign Turris to 6-year, $36M extension following trade
James Guillory-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
Kyle Turris has signed a six-year, $36-million contract extension with the Nashville Predators, the team announced. Turris was traded to the club from the Ottawa Senators as part of the three-way deal that sent Matt Duchene to the Senators.
Turris was set to become an unrestricted free agent at the conclusion of the season and, according to his agent, was seeking a seven- or eight-year deal worth roughly $6 million per season during contract talks with the Senators back in early October.
Since joining the team during the 2011-12 season, Turris has tallied the most goals (117) and second-most points (274) among all Sens players, while dressing in 407 games.
