Nashville, Tenn. - The Nashville Predators agreed to terms on a one-year contract with free-agent forward Martin Gelinas.

Gelinas, 37, appeared in all 82 games for the Florida Panthers in each of the last two seasons and he notched 44 points in 2006-07. The 5-11, 202-pound winger recorded his 600th NHL point this past season and scored his 300th career NHL goal in April at Carolina.

A native of Shawinigan, Quebec, Gelinas has posted 300 goals and 340 assists in 1,216 games over 18 NHL seasons with Edmonton, Quebec, Vancouver, Carolina, Calgary and Florida. He captured the Stanley Cup with Edmonton following his first full NHL season (1989-90) and has returned to the Finals three times - in 1994 with Vancouver, 2002 with Carolina and 2004 with Calgary. His top offensive season came in 1996-97 with the Canucks when he registered 35 goals and 33 assists.
