Nashville Predators Trade with Kraken for Former Bruins' Dman
The Nashville Predators have acquired defenseman Jeremy Lauzon from the Seattle Kraken. Lauzon was drafted by the Bruins in the 2nd round of the 2015 draft playing parts of 3 seasons in Boston before moving on to Seattle.
This season Lauzon has 67 PIMs and 176 hits in 53 games. He plays a physical style that fits well with the team in Nashville, who like to throw the body. He is 24-year-old and is an RFA at the end of the season.
Lauzon certainly helps Nashville's depth on the backend. This is the type of depth D many playoff teams target as there is usually an emphasis on the physical part of the game.
