I'd like to thank the Predators organization and David Poile for helping us get this deal done. "My fiancée Erin and I love Nashville, but we also strongly believe in the future of our team and know we can accomplish big things moving forward. "I couldn't be happier to spend the next eight years in the same city I've called home since my NHL career began," Forsberg said. We appreciate having them both in our SMASHVILLE family for the next eight years." Additionally, we'd like to wish Filip and his fiancée Erin all the best as they get married later this month. We believe that Filip, like Pekka Rinne before him and like our captain, Roman Josi, is doing now, will write a legacy with the Predators that fans will remember forever. His talent, competitiveness and leadership are critical to our future as we continue to strive for our goal of winning a Stanley Cup. "As one of the best offensive players in our history, we are thrilled to have Filip as a part of our team for the next eight seasons. "We are very pleased to announce Filip's signing today," Poile said.
