Preds Sign Joel Ward

The Predators re-signed free agent Joel Ward to a 2 year, $3MM contract today. Aside from the fact that I like Wardo as a person and a player and think this is a good signing for the Preds, I am curious as to how these negotiations went between the player and the club. GM David Poile earlier intimated that Ward's asking price of $1.5MM per year, triple his salary last season, was not going to happen from the club. Wadda ya know? It did.

Now if we can only come to terms with Sully.
