To Tampa:

To: Preds
Spacek, Jaroslav (D) NHL
Danis, Yan (G) NHL
Schwarz, Marek (G) AHL

Rakhshani, Rhett (RW) ECHL
2007 1st Round Draft Choice (tb)

The deal as it is laid out above sees pending UFA allstar Dman Joe Spacek and some top notch prospects in Schwartz and Neal head to Nashville for Rollie the Goalie.

Roloson will give the Bolts a dynamic 1/2 punch in the net with Nittymaki spelling off Rollie from time to time.

[Preds GM - CPHL]

did i just make this deal?

anyways...here Preds perspective.

We have been rebuilding for awhile and every thing is focused on next year, after acquiring Budaj, who will battle Schwarz and Danis for the starters role next year we though we could afford to trade away Rollie.

Jaroslav Spacek- Top 4 dman, we hope to resign.

Yan Danis - Still has potential in Montreal.

Marek Schwarz - The key part for us, Schwarz and Budaj should stop alot of pucks in Nashville for years to come.

James Neal - termendous young player as howed at WJC.

Rhett Rakhshani - Apparently I'd asked bout him 3 times since he was drafted so he must be good hehe.

1st Round Draft Choice (tb) -Another first rounder, to give us 3 for the upcoming draft as of now.
