Niederreiter didn't take long to open his goal-scoring account with the Predators, doing so in his first regular-season game after signing a two-year contract in the summer. He debuted on the second line, which is likely where he'll spend much of the year since Nashville has an established third line from last season. Niederreiter posted 24 goals and 20 assists in 75 games with the Hurricanes in 2021-22, and he should be capable of similar production with his new team.

EDGE Analysis

Niederreiter is coming off back-to-back seasons in which he reached the 20-goal threshold for the Hurricanes and will now link up with his fourth NHL team in his 11-year career. Despite his strong season, the 29-year-old winger will actually take a slight pay cut with his new $4 million AAV. With the Preds, Niederreiter should have the inside track on a top-six role but will have to stave off youngsters like Eeli Tolvanen and Philip Tomasino.
