Preds sign Dumont long term
Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward J.P. Dumont to a four-year, $16 million contract.
“J.P. Dumont’s commitment, leadership, work ethic and reputation as a big-game performer has helped him fit perfectly into the Predators culture since he came to Nashville by choice as an unrestricted free agent prior to the 2006-07 season,” Poile said. “When he expressed a desire to stay in Nashville, we jumped at the opportunity to keep him as part of our team’s foundation for the next four seasons.”>> team release
Dumont, 29, has quietly had another strong season for the Predators, and is on pace for a 28-goal, 71-point season that would mean career bests in both marks.
He's been a solid first-line forward the past two years, and comes at a reasonable price.

Wasn't it a crime against humanity when he got that arbitration award a couple years back?
You got it, saskhab. I remember a LOT of outrage over his arbitration award. Not from me - his salary was more than comparable to other guys around the league, with a proven record of improvement and upside.
And now, $4 million per is a "reasonable price."
Ahh I remember the good old days (two years ago) when a team could land Eric Staal or Jason Spezza at the reasonable price of $4m a year.
Good times ...
Come on Saskhab, the crime was Gainey tying up $7 million on Samsonov and not making a move on Dumont.
