Nashville Predators, Luke Evangelista agree to terms on 2-year deal
Luke Evangelista signs a two-year, $6 million contract after prolonged negotiations that delayed his training camp start, ending the NHL preseason's last restricted free agent holdout.
- On Friday, the Nashville Predators agreed to a two-year, $6 million contract with Luke Evangelista, ending the final restricted free agent stalemate six days before the Oct. 9 opener.
- Throughout the offseason, negotiations focused on a two-year deal and three-year option, with reports citing $1 million and $2 million offers while Evangelista missed more than two weeks of training camp.
- He had 10 goals and 22 assists in 68 games last year, and the contract carries a $3 million average annual value.
- With the signing, Evangelista will join training camp before the season starts, and Nashville general manager Barry Trotz said he had no interest in trading him through the 2026-27 season.
- After the contract expires, Evangelista will be a restricted free agent again in 2027, with arbitration hearings likely in August if filed, offering Nashville roster flexibility.
