The Nashville Predators signed restricted free-agent forward Ryan Hartman to a one-year, $875,000 contract on Monday, the team announced.
The 23-year-old was acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks ahead of last season's trade deadline along with a fifth-round pick. In exchange, the Predators shipped out a first- and fourth-round selection, as well as prospect Victor Ejdsell.
In 79 games split between the Blackhawks and Predators, Hartman tallied 11 goals and matched his career high with 31 points.
