Predators Re-Sign Hornqvist and Dekanich

The Nashville Predators have announced that they have re-signed right wing Patric Hornqvist to a three-year contract worth $9.25 million and goaltender Mark Dekanich to a one-year, two-way contract worth $550,000. Hornqvist's deal averages out to $3.083 million per season. In 80 games last season with the Predators, he had 30 goals and 21 assists for 51 points. The Hornqvist signing is a good one for the Predators, as he is a very promising young forward who will look to improve even more next season. He has lots of offensive upside and is a very shifty player, making him a very effective top-six forward for the team. Dekanich isn't a bad signing for the Predators, as he has good size and the potential to become a backup goaltender at the NHL level. With no other goaltender set to back up Pekka Rinne next season, Dekanich could become the likely candidate to fill that role, although he will likely have some competition at training camp unless the team signs a more experienced backup goaltender between now and the start of the regular season.
