Austin Watson - W - Nashville Predators
March 31, 2011 - 10:15 AM ET
The Nashville Predators have signed Austin Watson their first round pick in the 2010 Entry Draft to an entry level contract.
It's a three-year deal that will kick in next season. In the meantime Watson will sign an amateur contract with the Predators AHL team in Milwaukee. He had 34 goals and 68 points with Peterborough of the OHL this season. "The second half of the season he really played well," Predators GM David Poile said. "He played in all situations and produced in all situations." He likely will need a couple of seasons in the AHL for experience, but keep him in mind in keeper leagues.
