Drury Signs with Predators

Jack Drury’s big move to Nashville locks in a five-year, $22.5M deal averaging $4.5M annually — with trade protection in years two and three — as the Predators bolster their center depth. Former Avalanche GM Chris MacFarland, who drafted Drury, pulled the trigger, while Colorado shipped him for cap relief and Fedor Svechkov, freeing Nic Roy to thrive in the top nine. Drury’s salary mirrors Brett Kulak’s, and Nashville’s tax-free state perks add value. With a stacked Avalanche center corps already, this deal signals Nashville’s serious commitment to building around Drury — can he rise above fourth-line expectations?
