Erik Haula previously played one season with the Predators in 2020-21, appearing in 51 regular season games and six playoff games
This Nashville Predators offseason was a stark contrast from the prior one, as GM Barry Trotz made only one real notable trade, and a few other depth moves. One of those moves was trading a fourth round pick for veteran Erik Haula, a man who has played for the team before and also has familiarity with Head Coach Andrew Brunette from their time in New Jersey.
