Petter Granberg reportedly avoided arbitration Tuesday by signing a two-year, $1.225-million contract with the Nashville Predators, according to CBC's Tim Wharnsby.

The depth defender is guaranteed a $650,000 NHL salary in the second year, but his contract will carry a two-way provision for this upcoming season, Wharnsby reports.

His arbitration hearing was scheduled for Aug. 3.

The former fourth-round selection of the Toronto Maple Leafs appeared in 27 games for Nashville last year, chipping in two assists.
