Nick Cousins

Lands two-year deal in Nashville Cousins signed a two-year, $3 million deal with the Predators on Friday, Frank Seravalli of TSN.ca reports.

Impact Cousins scored 25 points last season with Vegas and Montreal and tallied another five assists in 17 postseason contests. The 5-foot-11 forward should immediately improve the Predators' center depth after the departure of Nick Bonino and Kyle Turris this offseason.

Won't be qualified According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, Cousins won't receive a qualifying offer from Vegas, so he'll become an unrestricted free agent Friday.

Impact Under normal circumstances, the Golden Knights definitely would have qualified Cousins, but they're already in cap trouble after re-signing Robin Lehner, and won't be able to climb out of it without moving Marc-Andre Fleury's contract, so they need to save money wherever they can right now. Cousins shouldn't have any trouble finding a new team this offseason as a capable bottom-sixer that put up 10 goals and 25 points in 65 games split between Montreal and Vegas last season.
