Grading and Analyzing the Ryan O’Reilly Addition to Nashville Predators
If you thought the Nashville Predators were going to stay the course and play the safe approach, then the start of 2023 NHL Free Agency has been an eye-opener for you.
The Nashville Predators wasted no time after NHL Free Agency opened at noon eastern time on Saturday with the addition of three 30-plus year-old veterans, and Ryan O’Reilly being the main piece of the three.
Luke Schenn and Gustav Nyquist are the other two free agency additions for the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
O’Reilly signs with Nashville on a four-year deal worth $4.5 million AAV, and figures to battle for a top line center role alongside Filip Forsberg and another winger to be determined.
