The Nashville Predators have decided on their goaltender.
After dealing Chris Mason to the St. Louis Blues for a fourth round pick in the 2008 Entry Draft, the club has signed Dan Ellis to a two-year, $3.5 million contract.
The deal will see Ellis make $1.5 million in 2008-09, followed by $2 million in 2009-10.
The 28-year old appeared in 44 games last season, posting a 2.34 goals against average with a .924 save percentage and six shutouts.
