Predators Sign Recently Acquired Jack Drury to 5-Year, $22.5 Million Deal
The 26-year-old center gets a deal through 2030-31 after posting a career-high 10 goals and 27 points last season.
- On Sunday, Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Chris MacFarland announced the team signed forward Jack Drury to a five-year, $22.5 million contract extension through the 2030-2031 season.
- The deal follows Drury's acquisition from the Colorado Avalanche last Wednesday, when the Predators traded forwards Zachary L Heureux and Fedor Svechkov to obtain the center, Chase Bradley, and a 2029 draft pick.
- Establishing himself as an elite defensive center, Drury won 58.1 percent of his face-offs last season, ranking fifth among players with at least 900 attempts. In 268 career games, the 26-year-old has recorded 30 goals and 52 assists.
- MacFarland described Drury as a "culture changer" who impacts the organization beyond the ice, noting his influence on young players like Brady Martin, Egor Surin, David Edstrom, and Felix Nilsson.
- Tying Drury to the franchise through his prime, the contract solidifies a roster anchored by a player with deep NHL pedigree: his father, Ted Drury, played eight NHL seasons, and his uncle, Chris Drury, is the New York Rangers general manager.
