The Nashville Predators have signed forward Calle Jarnkrok to a six-year, $12-million contract.
Jarnkrok, 24, recorded career highs in goals (16), assists (14), total points (30), and shots (95) this past season.
Drafted in the second round of the 2010 NHL Draft (51st overall), Jarnkrok was traded to Nashville as part of a deal that sent David Legwand to the Detroit Red Wings back in 2014.
The contract will pay him $1.7 million in 2016-17, $1.8 million in 2017-18, $2.1 million in 2018-19, $2.2 million in 2019-20 and 2020-21, and $2 million in 2021-22.
