GLENDALE, ARIZONA --- Phoenix Coyotes General Manager Don Maloney announced today that the Coyotes have acquired center Cal O'Reilly from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a fourth round selection in the 2012 Entry Draft. The trade is conditional upon O'Reilly clearing a medical examination.

The 25-year-old recorded 56-197-253 and 70 PIM in 262 career regular season games with Milwaukee (AHL) from 2005-10.
