Hartnell returns to Nashville on 1-year, $1M deal

The Nashville Predators signed winger Scott Hartnell to a one-year, $1-million contract.

The deal marks a return to the Music City for Hartnell, who was drafted sixth overall by the Predators in 2000.

He spent six seasons in Nashville, followed by seven seasons in Philadelphia and, most recently, three seasons in Columbus. Hartnell became available after the Blue Jackets recently bought out the final two years of his contract.

He recorded 13 goals and 24 assists in 78 games last season, and is averaging 0.26 goals and 0.58 points per game over his career, according to Hockey Reference.
