The Nashville Predators have addressed one of their holes on the forward depth chart, signing winger Zach Sanford to a one-year contract worth $850,000.
Sanford is coming off an unusual 2021-22 season. A member of the Blues’ 2019 Stanley Cup-winning team, Sanford was awarded a one-year, $2M deal with St. Louis last offseason. But before the season started, the Blues traded him to the Ottawa Senators. After just a few months with the Sens, Sanford was traded to the Winnipeg Jets at the deadline. He finished the season with 21 points (9 G, 12 A) in 80 games between both teams.
