After a few slow weeks on the signing front, the Predators announced earlier today that they have signed a man to help bolster their defensive depth.

That man is vetern D-man Scott Hannan, who has played in over 900 regular season games and in 82 playoff games throughout his career. Hannan also has a connection with Captain Shea Weber; both defensemen have played for the Kelowna Rockets.

Hannaen comes to Nashville with the experiences of playing for San Jose, Colorado, Washington, and most recently Calgary. He now has a one year $1 million contract with the Predators.

The Predators will be hosting a “Skate of the Union” Town Hall Meeting at Bridgestone Arena Monday 20, from 4-6pm. Be ready to skate and take home some autographs! Players expected to be present include Mike Fisher, Kevin Klein, and Colin Wilson.

In the meantime, today celebrates the 32^nd birthday of the first ever drafted Predator, David Legwand. Happy birthday good sir!
