Preds sign Center Cody Hodgson

In more of a “didn’t see that coming” move, the Predators organization nabbed 25-year-old Cody Hodgson from the Buffalo Sabres on a one-year, $1M deal.

Hodgson is a young, rather broad center that could be of some good use to the Predators. Of course, that one-year, $1M deal is pretty nice, too.

Preds sign Defenseman Barret Jackman

Afraid the Predators wouldn’t do anything after re-signing Mike Ribeiro? Well, you’d be wrong. Nashville snagged a heck of a deal with former St. Louis Blues defenseman Barret Jackman for a two-year, $4M contract.

34-year-old Barret Jackman is a hard-hitting blue liner that the Predators have been searching for and hey, he’s one of those players you are going to learn to love (because you despised him with St. Louis).

Also, we have been given hockey .gif gold once again. Hopefully, he will not curse the Predators like a one Olli Jokinen did.

Whether you like it or not, the Predators organization and Mike Ribeiro have agreed on a two-year, $7M contract.

GM David Poile mentioned yesterday in his press conference with the media that the news of Ribeiro’s contract agreement would be made either last night or early this morning.
