Predators Ink Jeremy Lauzon to Four-Year Extension | On the Forecheck
Not the re-signing news we were all hoping for, but it is what it is. Lauzon is someone who showed some promise in his very brief stint with the Preds after last season's deadline, thanks to John Hynes playing him a way that fits his skillset better than how he was being used in Seattle. The four years is a big commitment, but the AAV is cheap, and if Lauzon can grow into that consistent bottom-pair anchor the Preds have had trouble finding, this can turn out to be a solid deal.
