Tootoo had been a restricted free agent."We're just waiting on some paperwork, but the agreement is there," NHL player agent Craig Oster said. "He's excited about it, and the club wants him for more than one year. That should allow Jordin more time to develop and establish himself."Predators General Manager David Poile chose not to comment on Tootoo's contract status.The 23-year-old Tootoo played in 34 games for the Predators last season, collecting 10 points (four goals, six assists) and 55 penalty minutes.He had a breakout offensive season for Milwaukee of the American Hockey League, totaling 27 points (13 goals, 14 assists) in 41 regular-season games and adding 11 points (nine goals, two assists) in 15 postseason contests.It won't be as easy for the Predators to shuffle Tootoo between Nashville and Milwaukee this season, as such a move would require Tootoo to clear waivers.Also on Monday, the Predators announced the signings of four more organizational depth players.The team has come to terms with 6-3, 210-pound left wing Pat Leahy, 6-4, 214-pound center Shane Endicott, 6-6, 236-pound defenseman Nolan Yonkman and 5-8, 160-pound goalie Karl Goehring. All were signed to one-year, two-way contracts and are likely to begin the season in Milwaukee.Over the weekend, prospect forward Brandon Segal agreed to a new deal and will also likely begin the season in Milwaukee. The 6-3, 215-pounder posted a career-high 33 points last season for the Admirals.Leahy played 43 NHL games with Boston last season, Endicott played in 41 with Pittsburgh and Yonkman played 38 with Washington. Goehring, who's never played in the NHL, posted a 4-16-1 record and .912 save percentage with San Antonio of the AHL last season."We've got some guys with some size, some NHL experience and some skating ability," Predators assistant general manager Paul Fenton said. "They're excited about coming to us because of the winning atmosphere we have in the organization."</blockquote>
