| May 14, 2008 Martin Erat's seven-year, $31.5 million deal with the Predators was rejected by the NHL because it didn't conform to the "100 percent rule," the Tennessean reports. The two sides worked out a new contract and have resubmitted the proposed deal. To comply with the complicated rule, the Predators shifted $250,000 of Erat's year seven salary to year six. |

| February 17, 2008 Martin Erat had a goal and an assist on Sunday night, the second time in four games and the third time in seven games that he has left the ice with a goal and an assist in a game. Erat has put together a fine season for the Predators with 44 points in 55 games and he is on pace for his second straight 55+ point season. Erat isn't a big name, and he has never scored more than 20 goals, but he is just five points away from his fourth straight year of at least 49 points which marks him as a fine complementary player. |
| February 12, 2008 Martin Erat returned to the ice on Tuesday after missing the previous two games to an upper body injury. Erat logged 13:12 of ice time in the Preds win over the Wings and registered a +2 game with a goal and assist. |
