TSN: Pierre LeBrun thinks the Nashville Predators will be able to re-sign defenseman Roman Josi but they may have to move up in price on a long-term deal. The sides talked all offseason, but not much since the start of training camp.
“I think the Predators are willing to go to $8.5 million a year with Roman Josi on a long-term deal. But I think the Josi camp would like to see a number that starts with a nine.
I think they want to see this guy become the third-highest paid defenceman in the NHL behind Drew Doughty and Erik Karlsson and why not?
