The Nashville Predators announced the signings of both Calle Jarnkrok and Petter Granberg this morning and yesterday. That wraps up their restricted Free Agent signings and keeps the two of them away from Arbitration.
The interesting thing is that Predators insider @KWilsonPreds announced at the time of the Jarnkrok signing that there would be another signing announced at 1:00 today.
That has already started Twitter buzzing:

First, there were thoughts that it could be an extension for Ryan Johansen, who is a Restricted Free Agent at the end of next season:
If it is announcing a Ryan Johansen extension, Preds Twitter will break.
