Predators sign defenceman Jeremy Lauzon to multi-year extension
The Nashville Predators announced on Monday that they've signed defenceman Jeremy Lauzon to a four-year contract worth $8 million ($2 million AAV).
Lauzon, 25, began the season with the Seattle Kraken, who selected him in the 2021 NHL Expansion Draft from the Boston Bruins. He was then traded from Seattle to Nashville on March 21st in exchange for a second round pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft.
"When we acquired Jeremy back in March, we felt he was a player with a bright future who would help solidify our blueline moving forward, so we are excited to have him remain with the Predators," general manager David Poile said. "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."
The Val-d'Or (Quebec) native appeared in 66 games this season between the Kraken and Predators. Lauzon recorded seven points (two goals, five assists), 81 penalty minutes and was a minus-six.
"Nashville is the place I wanted to be, so I am thankful and fortunate to stay with this city and the Predators for the next few years," Lauzon said. "As a defenseman who likes to play with physicality, I love the identity our team brings each game, and knew this was a group I would fit in with right away. My teammates and the entire organization made me feel welcome from the day I arrived, and I'm looking forward to some stability and a chance to help our team that's on the rise and is heading in the right direction."
