Predators Re-Sign Forward Jessiman

The Nashville Predators announced on Tuesday that they have re-signed right wing High Jessiman to a one-year, two-way contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been eligible for free agency this summer. The Predators acquired Jessiman from the New York Rangers in October in exchange for future considerations. He didn't see any time with the Predators this season, spending most of it with their AHL affiliate in Milwaukee. In 67 games with the Milwaukee Admirals, Jessiman scored 20 goals and seven assists for 27 points. He has yet to play in an NHL game. With the Predators still watching their spending, this is likely just a depth signing for the team. However, his 20 goals at the AHL level has likely impressed management and he will likely get a shot at making the team at training camp this fall, though if he makes the team, he will probably be little more than a fourth line forward.
