Predators acquire, sign Hague to 4-year deal in trade that sends Sissons and Lauzon to Vegas
The Nashville Predators acquired defenseman Nicolas Hague in a three-player trade that sent center Colton Sissons and defenseman Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights, both teams announced Monday.
In completing the trade, the Predators signed Hague — a pending restricted free agent — to a four-year $22 million contract. Nashville also acquired a third-round pick in the 2027 draft, which would turn into a second-round pick should Vegas advance to the Western Conference finals in the 2026 playoffs.
