Surin Expected To Sign With Predators Next Season

The Predators should have one of their top prospects in North America next season. In a recent DFO Rundown appearance (video link), agent Dan Milstein noted that the plan is for forward Yegor Surin to sign with Nashville next season. The 20-year-old was a first-round pick back in 2024, going 22nd overall out of Lokomotiv Yaroslavl of the KHL. Since then, Surin has become a reliable top-six forward for them, putting up 37 points in 57 games last season while contributing six goals and seven assists through 22

contests this year. Surin’s contract in Russia expires at the end of the season so Milstein’s comment suggests that his client isn’t looking to extend back home. In that case, Surin would be a strong candidate to jump right into Nashville’s lineup in 2027-28.
