Predators Sign Forward Grant to One-Year Contract

The Nashville Predators have announced that they have re-signed left wing Triston Grant to a one-year, two-way contract. Terms of the deal were not released. He was acquired by the Predators last summer from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for defenseman Janne Niskala. Grant saw no NHL action last season, but appeared in 55 games with the Predators AHL affiliate in Milwaukee, scoring three goals and eight assists for 11 points and 153 penalty minutes. He last saw NHL action during the 2006-07 season with the Flyers, appearing in eight games with one assist and 10 penalty minutes. This is merely just a depth signing for the Predators. Grant is a very physical forward who will give Milwaukee lots of toughness. If he sees any NHL action next season, it will likely be on the fourth line and only if injuries begin to mount for the Predators.
