The Nashville Predators have the longest list of things to-do in this off-season, but they were able to take care of one of those things, checking off one of the top unrestricted free agent forwards from the list.
On Friday morning, it was announced that the Predators re-signed forward Mike Fisher to a new 2-year deal, worth $8.8 million over the course of the contract. That works out to be a $4.4 million cap hit per season.
Thanks to his Achilles injury, just before the regular season, his 2015 year was limited to only 59 games, but he was still able to score 19 goals and 39 points in that time. This made for a very impressive scoring rate and he turned into one of the key Waiver Draft picks of last season.
Fisher certainly keeps a bit of scoring depth with the Predators, heading into the 2016 season. It will be more interesting to see how the team decides to dress up his line for the most amount of success.
