He posted seven goals, 17 points and 116 shots on net in 66 games between Montreal and Dallas last season. Gurianov will provide some depth to Nashville's bottom-six forward group in 2023-24.

Impact Carrier was a restricted free agent prior to the deal. The 26-year-old defenseman was limited to 43 games last season, recording two goals, seven assists, 67 blocked shots and 57 hits. He'll likely play a bottom-four role for the Predators in 2023-24 before potentially reaching unrestricted free agency next summer.

Impact Nyquist compiled 11 goals, 27 points and 102 shots on net in 51 games between Columbus and Minnesota last season. He could be a solid fit alongside Filip Forsberg on the top line of the Predators.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Luke Schenn - Signing with Nashville Schenn signed a three-year deal with the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact The deal is expected to carry an AAV of $2.75 million. The 33-year-old Schenn registered 22 points (four goals, 18 assists), matching a career high, in 70 games last season between Vancouver and Toronto. With some uncertainty on Nashville's blueline, Schenn should get the chance to compete for a top-four spot.
JULY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Ryan O'Reilly - Heading to Nashville O'Reilly signed a four-year contract with the Predators on Saturday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Impact O'Reilly is coming off a down year offensively, posting 30 points (16 goals, 14 assists) in 53 games between the Blues and the Maple Leafs. Still, the 32-year-old center was able to secure a long-term deal with an AAV of $4.5 million. Following Matt Duchene's release and the trade of Ryan Johansen, O'Reilly is a good bet to step in as Nashville's first-line center this season.
