It’s been an offseason full of plenty to take care of for Nashville Predators GM David Poile, and his last major item on the to-do list is checked off by signing Eeli Tolvanen to a new contract.
According to Predators PR, Tolvanen is receiving a three-year contract worth $4.35M. This increased his annual cap hit from $894,166 to the $4.35M.
Also, Tolvanen performed very well to earn contract bonuses which increased his AAV to $3.115M over the last three seasons, per PuckPedia. However, his actual annual salary is obviously taking a big increase from less than $1M per season.
