The Predators wasted little time signing one of their key offseason acquisitions Jack Drury to a five-year deal recently.
Theyve now signed the other player acquired in that trade as well.
The team announced that theyve signed forward Chase Bradley to a two-year, two-way contract.
The deal will carry an AAV of $875K in the NHL, per PuckPedia.
The 24-year-old was a seventh-round pick by Detroit back in 2020 but didnt sign with them.
Instead, Bradley spent three seasons at UConn and then turned pro for the 2024-25 campaign, signing with Colorado.
He spent most of his rookie season in the minors but he did get into a pair of games with the Avs but was held off the scoresheet.
Bradley didnt get a chance to add to his NHL games played total last season as he was exclusively in the minors with AHL Colorado.
He didnt have the most successful of years either, recording just nine goals and three assists in 42 games during the regular season.
However, Bradley was more successful in the playoffs, notching five goals and five helpers in 17 contests which was likely enough to get him included in the Drury trade and this two-year look from Nashville.
Bradley has one year of waiver exemption remaining and its likely hell start the season with AHL Milwaukee with the hopes of earning a recall from there.
With his signing, Nashville now has just two remaining restricted free agents, recent acquisition Mavrik Bourque and defenseman Justin Barron.
Both players are arbitration-eligible with the filing deadline being on Sunday.
