The strange moves just keep on coming. In a trade broken by Tennessean beat writer Joshua Cooper, the Nashville Predators have traded Alexander Sulzer to the Florida Panthers for a conditional seventh round draft pick. According to Cooper, the pick is conditional on Sulzer re-signing with the Panthers. 

We'll have more on this as we find out, but for now, Nashville only has 17 healthy skaters. 

Steve Sullivan has also been placed on injured reserve with a 'recurring groin injury.'

Nashville, Tenn. (February 25, 2011) - Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations/General Manager David Poile announced today that the club has acquired a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2012 Entry Draft in exchange for defenseman Alexander Sulzer. Nashville will receive the seventh-round pick if Sulzer appears on the Florida's Reserve List during the 2011-12 season.
