Nashville Predators sign goalie Juuse Saros to entry-level contract.

Nashville, Tenn. – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced Tuesday that the club has signed goaltender Juuse Saros to a three-year, entry-level contract. Nashville's fourth choice, 99th overall (fourth round), in the 2013 Draft is expected to play his first North American professional season in 2015-16.

Saros, 20 (4/19/95), appeared in 47 of HPK's 60 Finnish Elite League (SM-Liiga) contests in 2014-15, ranking among the league's Top Five in shutouts (6), minutes played (2773:53), save percentage (.929) and goals-against average (2.14) in his second full season in the league.

During his final Finnish junior league season in 2012-13, the Forssa, Finland, native was named best player and recipient of the Jorma Valtonen Award as the league's top goaltender after leading all netminders in goals-against average (1.86) and save percentage (.933).
