The 30-year-old Niederreiter has 18 goals and 10 assists in 56 games this campaign. He’s under contract through next season at a $4-million cap hit.
The winger signed a two-year deal with the Predators last summer after four seasons with the Carolina Hurricanes.
The New York Islanders drafted Niederreiter fifth overall in 2010, but he played only 64 games with the franchise before being moved to the Minnesota Wild.
Niederreiter’s a six-time 20-goal scorer and has posted strong underlying numbers for much of his career.
