Predators Re-Sign Wade Belak
Nashville, Tenn. – Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed forward Wade Belak to a one-year, $575,000 contract.

Belak, 33 (7/3/76), suited up for 39 Predators games in 2009-10, posting a pair of assists and 58 penalty minutes. Since being acquired on American Thanksgiving 2008, the Saskatoon, Sask., has racked up four assists and 112 penalty minutes in 77 games with Nashville. Quebec’s first choice (12th overall) in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, Belak has played in 534 career NHL games for five teams (Colorado, Calgary, Toronto, Florida and Nashville) since 1996-97, notching 33 points (8g-25a) and 1,245 penalty minutes.

The 6-5, 222-pounder also co-hosts the Blackstone Hockey Night radio show on 104.5 The Zone during the season, and has also gained popularity for his “Wade’s World” segment on Nashville’s FOX Sports Tennessee broadcasts.

It's too bad he doesn't play more, but an enforcer getting re-signed is always good news!

Wow, that's surprising but I like it! I didn't think the Preds were going to re-sign him, but I'm glad they did. Just play him now please.

Awesome. Belak isn't what he used to be but I'm glad he will be around for at least one more year.

One year at no money. Did Belak not think he could get something better as a UFA in the summer?

happy that Belak got resigned, i hope he plays much more though. Not sure he would have been snapped up by anyone in the off season, with the lack of interest in most enforcers he had to take what he can.

Damn, would've loved to see him with Orr on the Leafs' 4th line this coming season.
