Predators add Niederreiter on 2-year deal with $4M AAV

The Nashville Predators signed free-agent forward Nino Niederreiter to a two-year, $8-million contract, the club announced Thursday.

Niederreiter finished with the third-most goals (24) on the Carolina Hurricanes last season.

The 29-year-old spent the last four campaigns with the Hurricanes following a lengthy stay with the Minnesota Wild.

Niederreiter has scored 20-plus goals five times during his NHL career. He's registered 368 points over 732 games between the Hurricanes, Wild, and New York Islanders.
