Geoffrion tweets on signing

Blake Geof­frion has twee­ted that he will sign a two-year con­tract with the Pre­da­tors. Geof­frion said he will hold a sig­ning cere­mony on Tues­day at Gran­bery Ele­men­tary School in Brentwood.

The Pre­da­tors con­fir­med Fri­day mor­ning that nothing has been sig­ned, and as of Fri­day after­noon both sides were still tal­king. It does not sound like the two sides are far off, hence Geoffrion's con­fi­dence about the sig­ning cere­mony next week.

Geof­frion, who grew up in Brent­wood, was a second round pick (56th ove­rall) by the Pre­da­tors in 2006. He recently com­ple­ted a superb colle­giate career at Wis­con­sin and was named the Hobey Baker Award winner.
