Why was he traded and who did Panthers give up? Predators are crazy for giving him up.

The Preds made a lot of bad moves if you compair it with last years team. Myself I think it was done so that it wouldn't bring fans to the arena. I think the team wants out of that city.

He was traded mostly because of the exceptional play of Chris Mason. (If Mason wasn't there, I guarantee Vokoun would still be with the Preds). The Preds didn't want to pay a high price for Vokoun when Mason has been playing just as well, if not better than Vokoun has.
I'm too lazy to look up when or what the trade was, but I believe it was at the draft (or close too) for draft picks (I think a 1st rounder and a couple 2nd rounders).

Let's not forget what was once thought to be the imminent purchase by Jim Balsillie.

A firesale was pretty much starting up on until Gary Bettman seriously got into the middle of things.

I just read that Forsberg and Paul Holmgren (Flyers GM) were seen talking together. I hope they don't go down that road. I don't think Forsberg has much left in him. I don't think he did a great deal for Nashville last year.
