Milwaukee, WI - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward Austin Watson to a two-year contract. It is a two-way contract in 2015-16 and a one-way contract in 2016-17.
Watson led Milwaukee and tied for 14th in the American Hockey League in goals (26) in 2014-15, in addition to tying for second among all AHL skaters in game-winning goals (8) while appearing in all 76 regular-season games for the second consecutive season.
