Predators Sign Nick Perbix To Two-Year Deal

July 1, 2025 at 1:29 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 5 Comments

The Predators are signing right-shot defenseman Nick Perbix to a two-year contract, TSN’s Bob McKenzie reports. He’ll earn $2.75MM per season, according to Anthony Di Marco of Daily Faceoff. The team has since confirmed the deal.

After acquiring Nicolas Hague from the Vegas Golden Knights yesterday, the Predators have now fully revamped their defensive core by adding Perbix. Offering more stability to their defensive core than their other internal candidates, Perbix is coming off a remarkably consistent three-year run with the Lightning.

Since debuting with the Bolts during the 2022-23 season, Perbix has scored 13 goals and 63 points in 220 career contests with a +27 rating, averaging 15:45 of ice time per night. For his metrics, Perbix offered a 51.2% CorsiFor% at even strength, and a 91.0% on-ice save percentage at even strength.

Still, it’s interesting that the Predators have chosen to invest more capital into their defensive core, rather than their offense. The team has a few defensive metrics that could have warranted NHL playing time in the upcoming season, and it’s reasonable to assume that netminder Juuse Saros has a bounce-back campaign. Their offense was the bigger concern last season, averaging 2.59 GF/G, the second-lowest mark in the NHL.

Despite finishing 27th in goals against per game, the team’s performance was hindered largely by Saros’s disappointing season. Nashville had the seventh-best penalty kill and finished 16th in shots against. The addition of Perbix and Hague will certainly help the team keep pucks out of their net, but they will still struggle to address the offensive issues that plagued the Predators last season.

      Does make you wonder why if the Preds are so good at drafting Dmen that they have to keep trading/signing for them?…….

    Nick Perbix should have a familiar face in the locker room with former Tampa legend Steven Stamkos. Overall, the Perbix deal is a good deal & he may have a better opportunity in getting more playing time in Nashville compared to Tampa.
