Michael Gallagher on Twitter
The #Preds have signed Minnesota State defenseman Jake Livingstone, who tallied 21 goals & 80 points in 111 NCAA games, to a one-year, entry-level contract
He was a two-time CCHA Defenseman of the Year & considered to be one of, if not the top available college FA defensemen

This guy fits a hole in the org … a prospect-y defenseman that’s older than the junior level age guys that are their biggest upside young d-men and probably replaces the Russian guy that is never coming over.
I for one am glad Michael Gallagher finally got on Twitter. Jokes aside this looks like a great pick up and we definitely needed a decent bolster to our defensive depth in the organization
Probably will come in pretty raw and will need a year in Milwaukee but ya never know
Last time we had a d-man outta college was Fabbro, right? Fingers crossed for better results
>The Mavericks came up short on Thursday, thus ending the college career of Jake Livingstone. The 23-year-old is viewed as one of the best free agents on the market, someone with good two-way hockey sense and a solid 6-foot-3 frame. When he wants to, Livingstone can absolutely light you up with a punishing hit and he puts some significant power behind his shot. He’s about to turn 24, so what you see from him is what you’re getting, but he should have no issue cracking an NHL roster full-time next year. Livingstone has been linked to a few teams the past two seasons, most notably Vancouver, but there’s more than a few that could use his services in the near future.
