Predators acquire F McNeill from Stars
The Nashville Predators swung a deal to acquire minor league forward Mark McNeill from the Dallas Stars on Saturday in exchange for defenseman Andrew O'Brien.
McNeill, 24, has five goals, an assist and 36 penalty minutes in 18 games with the American Hockey League's Texas Stars this season. He was selected 18th overall in the 2011 draft by the Chicago Blackhawks and has appeared in two NHL games -- one with the Blackhawks in 2016 and the other with the Stars last season.
McNeill had signed a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Stars for this season last June.
O'Brien, 25, has three assists in 21 games for the AHL's Milwaukee Admirals this season.
