IRVING, Texas -- The Dallas Stars traded the rights to Ed Belfour, a soon-to-be free agent, and right wing Cameron Mann to the Nashville Predators on Saturday for left wing David Gosselin and a fifth-round pick in next year's draft.

Belfour will be an unrestricted free agent on Monday, and the Stars already announced they had no plans to re-sign the 37-year-old goalie.

If the Predators also don't sign Belfour, they would now be entitled to a compensatory draft pick.

Gosselin, 25, had no points and five penalty minutes in three games with Nashville this season. He also played 66 games with Milwaukee of the American Hockey League, recording 11 goals and 21 assists and 112 penalty minutes.
