Preds Sign Filip Forsberg to Eight-Year, $68 Million Contract

Looks like we get eight more years of #9 in Smashville!

The Nashville Predators just announced this morning that they have signed forward Filip Forsberg to an eight-year $68 million contract.

According to NHL.com, Forsberg made the comment on his new contract,

“I couldn’t be happier to spend the next eight years in the same city I’ve called home since my NHL career began. My fiancée Erin and I love Nashville, but we also strongly believe in the future of our team and know we can accomplish big things moving forward. I’d like to thank the Predators organization and David Poile for helping us get this deal done. Now, it’s time to work toward our ultimate goal of bringing a Stanley Cup home to Nashville and the best fans in sports.”
