Paul Gaustad and the Nashville Predators are working toward getting a new contract done. "We have spoken with the team. Both parties are interested and looking at options for the future," said Gaustad's agent, Michael Gorman. "I know that Nashville is interested in keeping Paul and Paul definitely enjoyed his time in Nashville, so it's our intention to see if we can get something done, and there's still plenty of time for that." If something can't be worked out then the towering center will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1.
