Nick Bonino is joining the team that he helped defeat in the Stanley Cup Final.
The forward signed a four-year, $16.4 million contract with the Nashville Predators on Saturday.
The 29-year-old Connecticut native recorded 18 goals, 19 assists in 80 games last season with Pittsburgh and seven points (four goals, three assists) in 21 playoff contests to help the Penguins repeat as Stanley Cup champions.
Bonino missed the last four games of the Stanley Cup final because of a broken tibia, which was sustained after he was on the receiving end of a slapshot from Predators defenseman P.K. Subban. Bonino is expected to be ready for the start of the 2017-18 season.
Bonino has collected 75 goals and 112 assists in 407 career games with the Penguins, Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks since being selected by the San Jose Sharks in the sixth round of the 2007 NHL draft.
