The final step in Mike Fisher's return may be around the corner.

The Predators are expected to announce a one-year deal for Nashville's former captain ahead of Monday's 3 p.m. trade deadline, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Fisher retired last summer but shocked some at the end of January when he announced his intentions to return to the NHL.

The 37-year-old center has been skating and working out in preparation of his return to Nashville. Last season, Fisher recorded 42 points across 72 games with the Preds.
