Nino Niederreiter is the latest addition to the Nashville Predators and the veteran forward believes he is going to be a perfect fit.

The Predators have been busy this off-season after being swept by the Colorado Avalanche in the first round of the playoffs, re-signing forward Filip Forsberg to an eight-year, $68 million contract and acquiring defenceman Ryan McDonagh from the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Niederreiter saw a team on the upswing, as well as familiar faces in captain Roman Josi and forwards Mikael Granlund and Ryan Johansen, and on Thursday decided to sign with Nashville on a two-year, $8 million contract. "Nashville was definitely very high on my list," said Niederreiter. "Knowing Josi and a bunch of the other guys made it a lot easier.

Nashville is just such a great city and I'm very excited to go there." Niederreiter, the fifth-overall pick in 2010, began his career with the New York Islanders.
