Nashville Predators Add Another Forward

The Nashville Predators worked hard all offseason to find ways to upgrade their offense and after re-signing Mikael Granlund, the team has now signed free agent Erik Haula to a one year contract.

The 29-year-old versatile forward spent last season split between the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers, finishing the season with 24 points in 48 games. Haula returns to the west where he's played for the Minnesota Wild and Vegas Golden Knights over the course of his 405 career NHL games.

Haula was considered by most as the best available free agent center left on the market.

With over $7 million left in cap space, the Predators may not be finished making moves before their training camp opens next week. For now, you can add Haula to their mix.
