Nashville Predators Sign Alexander Kerfoot to Two-Year Contract

Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager Chris MacFarland announced the signing of forward Alexander Kerfoot to a two-year, $7 million contract on July 1, 2026.

What does this signing mean for the team?

The addition of Kerfoot brings a experienced player to the Nashville Predators, who currently have a 38-34 record and are on a L2 streak.

Kerfoot, 31, recorded 13 points in 34 games for the Utah Mammoth in the 2025-26 season.

What are Kerfoot's career statistics?

He has won over 50 percent of faceoffs he has taken the past two seasons, with 52.4 percent in 2024-25 and 51.1 percent in 2025-26.

Kerfoot has tallied 19 points in 54 career postseason games and owns 305 points in 639 career games with Colorado, Toronto, Arizona, and Utah.

How does this affect the team's standing?

As the Nashville Predators stand 10th in the Western Conference, this signing could be a boost to their roster, especially with Kerfoot's experience in the NHL.

The team is currently on a L2 streak, but with the addition of Kerfoot, they may be able to turn their season around.

Kerfoot played four seasons at Harvard University before being selected by New Jersey in the fifth round of the 2012 NHL Draft.
