The Nashville Predators acquired defenseman Nicolas Hague in a three-player trade that sent center Colton Sissons and defenseman Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights, a person with knowledge of the deal confirmed to the Associated Press early Monday.

In completing the trade, the Predators also agreed to sign Hague to a four-year $22 million, the person added and spoke on the condition of anonymity because the trade has not been announced. TSN first reported the trade taking place.
