Ryan McDonagh signs 7 year contract, $47 million

Ryan McDonagh has signed a seven-year, $47 million contract with the Nashville Predators, according to multiple reports. The deal has a cap hit of $6.75 million per season and will keep McDonagh in Nashville through the 2025-26 season.

McDonagh, a veteran defenseman, fills a major need for the Predators.

McDonagh, 32, is a two-time All-Star and has been a key part of the New York Rangers' success in recent years. He was traded to the Predators in February 2018 and has since been a key part of their defense.

McDonagh's contract is a significant investment for the Predators, but it's one that they believe will pay off.

The Predators are a young team with a lot of potential, and McDonagh's experience and leadership will be invaluable. He's a physical presence on the ice and he's also a very skilled puck-mover. He's the kind of player that can help the Predators take the next step and become a contender for the Stanley Cup.
