Predators President of Hockey Operations/GM David Poile announced today that the club has signed free-agent forward Mike Ribeiro to a one-year, $1.05 million contract.

“Mike is a talented veteran center who has produced offensively everywhere he has played,” Poile said. “We have done our due diligence and believe Mike has a lot to offer to our team, improves us at our center ice position and will fit in with our group and contribute.”

Ribeiro, 34, has amassed 656 points in 865 career NHL games since the 1999-2000 season with Montreal, Dallas, Washington and Phoenix. In 2013-14, the center registered 47 points and he is just one season removed from producing at a point-per-game clip with Washington, posting 49 points in 48 games in 2012-13.
