(August 20, 2025) \u2013 Nashville Predators General Manager Barry Trotz announced today that the team has signed forward Brady Martin to a three-year, entry-level contract.<\/p>\n<p>Martin, 18 (3\/16\/07), became the Predators\u2019 highest selection in over a decade when Nashville took him with the fifth overall pick in the 2025 NHL Draft. He recorded a career-high 72 points (33g-39a), 72 penalty minutes and a +25 rating in 57 games this season while serving as an alternate captain for the Soo Greyhounds of the OHL. The 6-foot, 185-pound forward ranked second on the Greyhounds in goals, assists, points and penalty minutes and first in plus-minus rating.
