The Nashville Predators have signed restricted free agent defenseman Cody Franson to a two-year, $1.6 million contract.
Franson, 23, picked up six goals and 15 assists for 21 points in 61 contests for the Predators last season, becoming just the second rookie defenseman in franchise history to hit the 20-point mark (Dan Hamhuis, 2003-04), tying for fourth among first-year blueliners in points, and ranking third in goals.

The native of Sicamous, B.C., also led all rookies and ranked second on the team in plus/minus rating (+15).
Nashville's third choice, 79th overall (third round), in the 2005 Entry Draft spent two seasons with the Milwaukee Admirals before moving onto Nashville, being named a Second-Team AHL All-Star in 2008-09 and to the AHL All-Rookie Team in 2007-08.
