PREDS SEND NECKAR TO BOLTS

The Tampa Bay Lightning acquired defenseman Stanislav Neckar from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in 2004.

What does it give the Tampa Bay Lightning
The league-leading Lightning are not the same team Neckar spent over two season in the Sunshine state before moving on to Nashville last season. When healthy, he can be a useful depth player but injuries have plagued the Czech throughout his career.

What does it give the Nashville Predators
Nashville gets a draft pick for a player who spent most of the season injured or in the minors.
