A chancellor will rule within the week on whether a co-owner of the Nashville Predators can keep his lawsuit against the team's ownership group in a Tennessee court or have to submit to arbitration. Chancellor Ellen Hobbs Lyle heard nearly three hours of arguments Wednesday on a motion that would force David Freeman out of her court and back into arbitration with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. Freeman, a former team chairman, sued Predators Holdings LLC and current team chairman Tom Cigarran on June 23 and is seeking $250 million in damages for his original 48 percent stake in the team being diluted.
