Shane O'Brien Moves On as Canucks, Preds Complete Four-Player Trade

Shane O'Brien's excellent NHL adventure now takes him to the Nashville Predators.

The Preds acquired O'Brien and minor-league winger Dan Gendur from the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday for defenceman Ryan Parent and forward Jonas Andersson.

Leading up to his waiver placement, O'Brien said it would be a "new adventure" if the Canucks chose not to keep him.

O'Brien, 26, fell out of favour with the Canucks last season after sleeping in and showing up late for a practice and failing to keep his weight down to a prescribed limit. He didn't help his cause with a so-so training camp and pre-season.
