What happened: Detroit also signed the center to a two-year entry-level contract. The transaction was completed ahead of the 2026-27 season.

Why it matters: The contract runs through 2027-28, giving Detroit a cost-controlled depth option. The move continues Nashville's offseason overhaul of its forward group.

What to watch: Muzzatti's place in Detroit's organizational depth chart will come into focus at training camp.
