Unrestricted free agent defenceman Francis Bouillon is once a again a Nashville Predator.

According to TSN.ca's french languauge sister site, RDS.ca, the 33-year old has signed a one-year, $750,000 contract.

Bouillon, who has spent the majority of his nine NHL seasons with the Montreal Canadiens, did play four games for the Predators back in October of 2002, after he was claimed by the team during the waiver draft.

A mere 21 days later, the Canadiens claimed him back on waivers.

In 485 career NHL games, Bouillon has scored 21 goals with 81 assists and 371 penalty minutes.

Confirmed today by The Predators in a press release from the team:

Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has signed defenseman Francis Bouillon to a one-year, $750,000 contract. Bouillon attended Predators Training Camp on a Professional Tryout Agreement, scoring a goal in one preseason game.

A native of New York, N.Y., Bouillon is also a veteran of 25 NHL Playoff contests, and has seen action in four of the last five postseasons.

Bouillon can be a very solid addition to Nashville. He is one of the toughest defensemen in the NHL, and a true team player.
