Restricted free agent forward Colin Wilson is asking for $4.25 million in contract talks with the Nashville Predators, who are offering $3 million, Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reported Sunday.
Wilson is scheduled to go to arbitration Tuesday. He made $2.5 million last season, when he set career highs with 20 goals, 42 points and 172 shots. He added five goals in the Western Conference First Round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which the Predators lost in six games to the Chicago Blackhawks.
The Predators avoided arbitration with Craig Smith when the forward signed a five-year, $21.
