The post-Weber era didn't last long in Nashville.
The Predators signed defenseman Yannick Weber to a one-year contract worth $575,000, the team announced Friday.
The 27-year-old spent the last three seasons with the Vancouver Canucks, and had a career year in 2014-15, posting 11 goals and 10 assists. Last year, he struggled, with just seven points and a minus-17 rating in 45 games.
As a member of the Canucks, he wore the No. 6 sweater, but Adam Vingan of the Tennessean reports the new acquisition isn't expected to don the number in Nashville. It was most recently worn there by former captain Shea Weber, who was traded to the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday.
