NASHVILLE, Tenn. (CP) - The Nashville Predators picked up the veteran defenceman they were seeking Saturday when they sent centre Eric Belanger to the Atlanta Thrashers for defenceman Vitaly Vishnevski.

The trade was the second in two days for Belanger, who was acquired by Nashville from the Carolina Hurricanes for centre Josef Vasicek.

The Thrashers also claimed forward Denis Hamel on waivers from Ottawa.

Belanger now has been property of four different teams this year (Kings, Hurricanes, Predators, Thrashers). Good deal for both teams IMO. Nashville gets an experienced Dman to go along with there many young, awsome defencemen and Atlanta gets a playmaking center who is above average at face-offs which they needed because Rucchin recently suffered a concussion.

I was semi-excited to get Belanger (for the lackluster Vasicek), but ecstatic when we traded Belanger less than 24 hours later for Vishnevski...

I am anxious to see the new defensive chemistry with Vishnevski tomorrow night. He should bring a physical presence to the blueline that the Preds lack (other than Weber).
