From John Glennon of the Tennessean:

The Nashville Predators signed free agent forward Josh Gratton, effectively ending their hunt for an enforcer on Wednesday.

“We let Darcy go and talking to our coaches we really felt like it was important to get this element,” Predators General Manager David Poile said.
