Predators President of Hockey Operations/GM David Poile announced today that the club has signed 2012 third-round draft pick Brendan Leipsic to a three-year entry-level contract.

Leipsic, 19, was co-recipient of the 2013 Bob Clarke Trophy as WHL scoring champion after posting 120 points (49g-71a) in 68 games as Portland won the Scotty Munro Trophy as regular-season champions. 

Nashville's fourth choice, 89th overall (third round), in the 2012 Entry Draft has amassed 211 points (93g-118a), 235 penalty minutes, and a +84 rating in 201 games with Portland since 2010.
