Brady Skjei - Inks seven-year deal Skjei agreed to terms on a seven-year, $49 million contract with Nashville on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Skjei is the third big signing for the Predators on the first day of free agency, joining Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault in the Music City. Last season, the 30-year-old Skjei set new personal bests with 47 points in 12 power-play points. While Roman Josi won't be giving up his spot on the No. 1 power-play unit, Skjei could be tasked with quarterbacking the second group, which should bolster his fantasy value heading into the 2024-25 campaign.

Jonathan Marchessault - Lands with Nashville Marchessault signed a five-year, $27.5 million contract with the Predators on Monday, according to Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic.
Impact Marchessault scored a career-high 42 goals and compiled 69 points in 82 regular-season games with Vegas in 2023-24. With Marchessault and Steven Stamkos signed to multi-year deals Monday, the Predators' top-six group and power play received significant boosts ahead of 2024-25.

Steven Stamkos - Headed for Music City Stamkos signed a four-year, $32 million contract with Nashville on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.
Impact Stamkos will don a different sweater for the first time in his 16-year NHL career, having played 1082 regular-season games for the Lightning since they drafted him back in 2008. The two-time Stanley Cup champion should immediately move into a first-line role while also taking a spot on the No. 1 power-play unit. Stamkos has reached the 80-point mark in each of the last three seasons and there is no reason to expect 2024-25 to be any different.

Liam Foudy - Not qualified Foudy didn't receive a qualifying offer ahead of Sunday's deadline and will now be an unrestricted free agent, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Foudy logged a mere 12 NHL games for Nashville this past season in which he generated three assists, six hits and seven shots while averaging 10:09 of ice time. The 24-year-old center has just one decent season under his belt, having tallied seven goals and seven assists in 62 games for the Blue Jackets back in 2022-23.

Jaret Anderson-Dolan - Headed for free agency Anderson-Dolan was not given a qualifying offer by the Predators ahead of Sunday's deadline and will be a free agent, Alex Daugherty of The Tennessean reports.
Impact Anderson-Dolan played in just one NHL game for Nashville last season after they acquired him from the Kings via trade. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to see the team moving in a different direction. At this point, the 24-year-old Calgary native may have to settle for a two-way deal when the market opens Monday.

Juuse Saros - Signing eight-year extension Saros agreed to terms on an eight-year, $61.92 million contract with Nashville, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports Friday.
Impact Saros technically can't put pen to paper until the new league year opens Monday but it seems the two sides have already worked out the details of a max-term deal for the netminder. At 29 years of age, and one season remaining on his current contract, this deal essentially will tie Saros to the Predators for the remainder of his career -- barring a future trade. Considering the Finn has hit the 60-game threshold and 30-win mark in each of his last three seasons, fantasy players can likely expect more of the same heading into the 2024-25 campaign and beyond.

Andrew Gibson - Flipped in trade Gibson was sent to Nashville from Detroit on Monday in exchange for Jesse Kiiskinen and a 2024 second-round pick.
Impact Gibson put up solid numbers with OHL Soo this season, racking up 12 goals and 32 helpers in 68 contests for the Greyhounds. Originally selected by the Red Wings in the second round of the 2023 NHL Draft, the 19-year-old blueliner could offer decent offensive upside once he makes the jump to the professional ranks -- though that's likely still at least a season or more away.
