Report: Predators, Arvidsson far apart in contract talks
Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports / USA TODAY Sports
The Nashville Predators and Viktor Arvidsson aren't seeing eye to eye.
The sides are set to go to arbitration Saturday with the Predators having offered Arvidsson a two-year deal that would pay him $2.75 million in both years, while Arvidsson is seeking a one-year deal worth $4.5 million, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
Arvidsson is coming off a career year with 31 goals and 61 points in 80 games - both team highs. Despite quickly proving to be an important part of the Predators roster, Arvidsson hadn't played a full NHL season prior to this year, with a combined eight goals and 16 points in 62 games over the previous two years.
The 24-year-old is among four Predators who remain restricted free agents, including Ryan Johansen.
