The Nashville Predators sign center Jack Drury to a five-year, $22.5 million contract shortly after acquiring him from the Colorado Avalanche. Multiple reports say the deal is completed about four days after the trade. Drury, who is 26, joins Nashville as part of the team’s offseason roster additions following the earlier move involving the Avalanche.
The sources also provide background on Drury’s recent NHL performance. They report that last season with Colorado, he produces a career-high total of 10 goals and records 27 points, matching his personal best. They also note that he plays in all 82 regular-season games for the Avalanche.
While some accounts describe the signing as adding a defensive or faceoff-oriented presence, the reporting is consistent on the core details: the contract term and value, the timing after the Avalanche trade, and Drury’s recent statistical output and durability over a full regular season.
