Nashville Predators Sign Luke Evangelista to Two-Year $6M Extension

News summary

Luke Evangelista and the Nashville Predators have reached a deal on a two-year contract worth $6 million, ending a months-long holdout and securing the forward's place through the 2026-27 season. Evangelista, who missed training camp due to contract negotiations, had a solid 2024-25 season with 10 goals and 32 points in 68 games and is expected to play a key role for the Predators as they aim to rebound from a disappointing previous season. The contract resolution came just days before the Predators' season opener on October 9 against the Columbus Blue Jackets, providing a confidence boost for the team and fans. Despite the delay, the Predators see Evangelista as a crucial young player capable of making a significant leap in performance. However, missing most of training camp could cause some early rustiness, tempering expectations at the start of the season. Overall, the new deal solidifies Evangelista's future in Nashville and aligns with the team's hopes of returning to playoff contention.
