MIKE SANTORELLI TO PANTHERS
The Florida Panthers acquired forward Mike Santorelli from the Nashville Predators for a conditional fifth-round draft pick in 2011.
What does it give the Florida Panthers
Santorelli is a scoring star at the AHL level, but he has yet to translate that production to the NHL game. He could get a better chance in South Florida, where the Cats are in search of more offense.
What does it give the Nashville Predators
The Predators felt Santorelli wasn't a good fit, so they decided to take a draft pick in exchange for his rights. He struggled under coach Barry Trotz, mainly due to defensive issues. Therefore, a trade was inevitable.
