Apr 15, 2025; Calgary, Alberta, CAN; Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Nicolas Hague (14) against the Calgary Flames during the first period at Scotiabank Saddledome. Mandatory Credit: Sergei Belski-Imagn Images Freeing up salary-cap space ahead of Tuesday’s free-agency period, the Vegas Golden Knights shipped defenseman Nicolas Hague to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Jeremy Lauzon and center Colton Sissons, according to multiple media reports on Sunday night.
A restricted free agent with the Golden Knights, Hague signed a four-year, $22 million contract with the Predators, per the reports. Hague’s cap hit on his previous deal was $2,294,150.
Meanwhile, Nashville has discussed a sign-and-trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs for forward Mitch Marner, the biggest prize of the NHL’s free-agency signing period, which begins Tuesday. The Golden Knights are expected to lead the pursuit of the 28-year-old two-time All-Star, who is coming off a career-high 102-point campaign.
Hague, 26, a second-round pick of the Golden Knights in 2017, has played six seasons and posted 83 points (20 goals, 63 assists) in 364 games. In Vegas’ run to the 2023 Stanley Cup title, Hague played in 22 games and compiled six points (two goals, four assists). Hague joins star Roman Josi and Brady Skjei on the left side of the Predators’ defensive unit.
The 28-year-old Lauzon is a seven-year veteran who has 45 points (14 goals, 31 assists) in 316 games with the Boston Bruins (2018-21), Seattle Kraken (2021-22) and Predators (2022-25) since the Bruins drafted him in the second round in 2015. His cap hit for next season is $2 million.
Sissons, 31, who has spent all 11 of his NHL seasons with the Predators, carries a $2,857,143 cap hit next season. In 620 games for Nashville, who selected him in the second round of the 2015 draft, Sissons has 221 points (95 goals, 126 assists).
Next summer, Sissons and Lauzon will be unrestricted free agents.

A Study In Winning: Matt Freese’s Harvard Days Helped The U.S. Take A Big Step
Doug McIntyre Soccer Journalist <!--> MINNEAPOLIS — Matt Freese went into Sunday’s penalty shootout against Costa Rica fully understanding the stakes.If the U.S. goalkeeper wanted to give his team a chance to win the match and advance to Wednesday’s Gold Cup semifinal against Guatemala, he knew he’d have to outperform legendary Ticos backstop Keylor Navas, a three-time UEFA Champions League winner and perhaps the most decorated player in Concacaf history."He's one of the best in the history of the world and to share that pitch with him was very special," Freese said after making three saves in the tiebreaker to help the Americans advance following a 2-2 draw. "But yeah, in the moment, I'm not really thinking about that."What the Harvard-educated Freese was thinking about, somewhere in the recesses of his mind, was a lengthy research project he did while […]
2025 College Football Playoff Predictions: Teams Capable of Making First Appearance
Michael Cohen College Football and College Basketball Writer <!--> Right now, and perhaps for many decades to come, there is no better example of a fairytale, Cinderella-style run to the College Football Playoff than what Indiana accomplished last fall under first-year head coach Curt Cignetti. Consider the circumstances surrounding Indiana’s program ahead of the 2024 campaign: The Hoosiers owned the most losses of any program in FBS history; they hadn’t won more than eight games in a season since before the Apollo 11 moon landing; they’d finished fourth place or worse in their own division — back when the Big Ten had such stratification — 12 times in the span of 13 years from 2011-23; they’d just hired a new coach in Cignetti, formerly of James Madison, who had never overseen a team in the power conferences; they bid farewell to more than […]
Casagrande acredita que o Palmeiras faria jogo equilibrado contra o Bayern no Mundial: “Não correria riscos lá atrás”
Casagrande em participação no programa "Apito Final" (Reprodução - YouTube)Walter Casagrande disse que o Flamengo não errou ao tentar jogar de forma audaciosa contra o Bayern de Munique, em choque das oitavas de final do Mundial de Clubes. Contudo, na concepção dele, o time alemão teria maior trabalho de ‘furar’ a defensiva se o adversário em questão fosse o Palmeiras. Em live no “Fim de Papo”, do UOL, neste domingo (29), ele definiu que o time palestrino iria se expor menos do que o time de Filipe Luís.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Ramon Laureano quietly becoming best offensive piece for struggling Orioles
Expectations were high for the Baltimore Orioles entering 2025. The team was coming off two straight playoff berths, and the roster has a ton of appealing, presumably ascending talent on it. Baltimore was projected to win around 88 games.But sometimes reality bites. The Orioles are floundering at 36-47, last place in the AL East. Only the White Sox and Athletics — two teams that are hardly trying — are breaking Baltimore's fall. Is it possible for a cartoon bird to cry?AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBully to you if you saw this collapse coming. And extra credit if you figured that journeyman outfielder Ramon Laureano might become the team's best offensive piece.Laureano has bounced around in his eight MLB seasons; Baltimore is his fourth stop. He was useful down the stretch in Atlanta last year (.296/.327/.505, 10 homers in 67 games), which led to the […]
