Before the NHL’s trade deadline yesterday, the Nashville Predators made their second move of the year for a depth defender, acquiring Alex Biega from the Toronto Maple Leafs. Biega—an AHL addition—was flipped for future considerations.
The 33-year old defender stands at just 5’10” and played his first NHL game in the 2014-15 season with the Vancouver Canucks after a collegiate career at Harvard while a draftee of the Buffalo Sabres.
Since then, he’s had stops in Detroit and Toronto, totaling 243 games of NHL experience and 382 games of AHL experience.
