NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators added depth to an already talented roster after signing veteran defenseman Barret Jackman and forward Cody Hodgson on July 1.
Jackman had spent his entire 13-year career with the St. Louis Blues but felt Nashville was the best fit for him when weighing his options during free agency. He wanted to go somewhere where he had a chance to win the Stanley Cup, and that was the biggest part of his decision in moving his family.
"I think just the chance to win right now," Jackman said.
