NASHVILLE -- The Nashville Predators signed defenceman Roman Josi to a seven-year, $28 million contract Monday, securing the other piece of their top defensive line. "I think last year we saw the growth in Roman almost like no other younger player weve had, probably the best comparison I could come up with is Shea Weber and Ryan Suter," general manager David Poile said. "The irony of that of course is Roman fit in very nice into Ryans position last year." Josi replaced Suter and was teamed with Weber, whose 14-year, $110 million offer sheet was matched by Nashville last July. Poile said signing Josi was a top priority for a player who was a restricted free agent. "Just turning 23 last week, I think the potential is certainly there for Roman to be one of the best defencemen in the National Hockey League," Poile said. "Obviously, signing him to seven years ensures that we will have our top defence pairing intact for any number of years with he and our captain Shea Weber. I think the foundation continues to get stronger here with in the last year." Since November 2011, the Predators have signed goaltender Pekka Rinne, Weber and now Josi to long-term contracts. Forward Patric Hornqvist signed a five-year deal for $21.2 million in April. Josis was Nashvilles third draft selection in 2008 at 38th overall in the second round. He had 18 points in 48 games for the Predators this season, topping what he did as a rookie in 2011-12. He ranked 19th in the NHL in total minutes played and wound up playing 23 1/2 minutes a game, a jump of more than 5 minutes. He has 34 points in 100 regular-season games. The defenceman also led Switzerland to a silver medal at the world championships -- that nations first medal in 60 years. Josi also was the first Swiss named Most Valuable Player, best defenceman and a tournament All-Star. "His growth was tremendous, and that carried over to the international stage," Poile said.

Eric Berry Jersey .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again. Sabbir Rahman started to punch the air every time he struck a six from the time he hit his fourth, during his record-breaking 122 against Barisal Bulls on Sunday. He described the celebration as a ritual that helps him stay focused.While it might seem unusual, it probably helps Sabbir. But closer to the truth is probably the fact that Sabbir was playing his favourite format. He said that he knows that a big innings is always around the corner when he is playing in T20s.T20 is my game, Sabbir said. I got into the senior side in 2014 through T20s, and then also into the Test team. I believe it is my format, and I will make a big score, either today or tomorrow. But I am sure someone will break my 61-ball 122.Shahriar Nafees, who made 63 for Barisal earlier in the game, said that Sabbirs spectacular innings made him mull whether they could have made more than 192. He said that Sabbirs wicket made the difference with Rajshahi unable to score the remaining 34 runs in the last four overs.He is an outstanding talent, an asset for Bangladesh and has been doing well for the country. He is very fit,, powerful and a big-hitter.dddddddddddd When he was batting, I thought we would have needed 220-230 runs on the board. Sabbir was clearing the boundary quite easily. It is one of the best innings I have seen in this country. But we believed that it is important to win the game regardless of the margin. It wasnt that easy to bat on that wicket unless you are set.Despite his innings that beat Chris Gayles 116 - the previous highest individual score in the BPL - Sabbir said that winning the game would have made him happier. He said that the batsmen who couldnt score the nine runs in the last six balls should have taken a different approach rather than trying to go for big hits.We should have won both close games. I dont know what our batsmen are thinking in the last over, he said. I think we have to be stronger mentally. We could have won the previous game by taking singles rather than going for sixes. I think nine runs off the last six balls was an easy equation.
