On July 1st, Nashville Predators veteran captain Mike Fisher became an unrestricted free agent, after finishing his 17th NHL season. At 37 years old, the captain has spent the last seven seasons in Nashville, and one year as the captain. Fisher is coming off of a 42 point campaign, which was his best since the 2013-2014 season.
GM David Poile has already begun to build around a potential Fisher hole, with draft picks, multiple free agent signings, and the re-signing five restricted free agents since last Monday. The team announced earlier this week that the Predators are expecting a decision from Fisher sometime next week.
