Former Penn State forward Aiden Fink signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Nashville Predators on Monday:

Fink rolled up 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) in just 6 games with the AHL’s Milwaukee Admirals. He had previously signed an amateur tryout with the Admirals on March 31. The Predators drafted Fink in the seventh round of the 2023 NHL Draft. The entry-level contract begins in the 2025-26 season and runs an annual value of $950,000.

Nashville was eliminated from playoff contention with a loss to San Jose last night. The Admirals have clinched a spot in the AHL playoffs, where Fink is likely to play the remainder of the 2025-26 season. Nashville has six forwards on its current roster age 24 or younger. I would not be surprised to see Fink make the opening night roster in 2026-27 if he continues to put up impressive numbers in the AHL and makes an impact in the Calder Cup Playoffs.
