Evangelista Ends Holdout with Predators
Wing Luke Evangelista’s holdout with the Nashville Predators has officially concluded, as the 23-year-old forward has secured a new contract. The agreement sees Evangelista signing a two-year deal, valued at $3 million annually. This development comes just in time for him to join the team for their preseason finale.

The forward’s return to the ice comes as a relief for both him and the organization, as they look to build momentum heading into the upcoming campaign. Evangelista’s skills and contributions are anticipated to play a crucial part in the Predators’ strategy this season.
As the team prepares for the regular season, Evangelista’s contract resolution allows him to focus fully on his development and performance, putting the holdout behind him as he aims to make a significant impact.
