Nashville, TN- Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward Nick Spaling to an entry-level contract.
Spaling was an integral part of the Kitchener Rangers run to the 2008 OHL title and the Memorial Cup Finals. The Palmerston, Ont., native tied for second in assists (6) and third in points (8) at the Memorial Cup, in addition to ranking third in goals (14) and fifth in points (30) during the 2008 OHL playoffs.
