Preds has signed 2012 fourth-round draft pick Mikko Vainonen to a three-year entry-level contract.
At 6-foot-2, 222 pounds, Vainonen brings NHL-level size at the age of 19. The Predators see him as a stay-at-home type of presence with some mobility.
Here is what Nashville general manager David Poile said about Vainonen at the draft last year: “The big factor was the size and the skating. He’s a very smooth skater.” |
