The Devils traded center Vern Fiddler to the Nashville Predators for a fourth-round pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

The 36-year-old Fiddler signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal with the Devils on July 1, 2016.

He finished with three points in 39 games for the Devils, serving as the team’s fourth-line center and a penalty killer.

Fiddler did miss 12 games in December and January due to a lower body injury.

Fiddler spent the first six seasons of his NHL career with the Predators, compiling 93 points in 305 games.

With the addition of the fourth-round pick from the Predators, the Devils now own 10 picks in June’s entry draft.
