Predators Lock Jack Drury Into Five-Year Deal
Nashville signs center Jack Drury to a five-year, $22.5 million contract after acquiring him from Colorado in a trade that sent two prospects and a 2029 third-round pick in exchange for Drury and forward Chase Bradley; the deal includes no-trade protections in later years (full NTC in 2027-28 and 2028-29, then 8-team NTC for 2029-30 and 2030-31). Drury, who had a career-high 10 goals and 17 assists in 82 games last season with strong faceoffs, strengthens the Predators’ center depth as they manage roughly $20 million in cap space for next season.
