Nashville announced this evening that they have signed free agent Justin Abdelkader to a 4 year deal worth $5 million per year.
Abdelkader took a step forward in his development last season. However, it is still unclear if he will become more than a 3rd-4th line player at the NHL level. Predator fans will be glad for his size and strength.
He is now set for a hefty raise from his previous $825,000 salary. Nashville will be hoping to see him earn his keep.
Rumor has it several other clubs, including rival Calgary had made pitches to the 25 year old.
