The Nashville Predators have signed defenceman Jeremy Lauzon to a four-year, $8 million contract extension. Lauzon was an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent and will be a UFA at the expiry of this contract.
“Jeremy jumped right into our lineup with his physical style of play and fits the identity that we like to bring each night. At just 25 years old, he’s helped us further reach our goal of getting younger and he is thrilled about the opportunity to continue to improve and develop with our organization and in the city of Nashville.”

Awesome signing by the Preds. Most teams need a guy like this!
