The Nashville Predators sent Cal O'Reilly to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for a fourth round pick at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft next June in Pittsburgh. O'Reilly must pass a physical to officially complete the trade.
It would seem that his move was done with the expectation that Marty Erat will come off of the injured reserve list soon and the Predators were at the 23 man roster maximum.
Here is the official release from the Predators...
NASHVILLE PREDATORS ACQUIRE A FOURTH-ROUND PICK FROM PHOENIX
- Send forward Cal O’Reilly to the Coyotes -
