Carrie Underwood's Husband Traded to Her Favorite Place: Nashville!

By Kelly Fisher Posted Feb 11th 2011 10:15AM

Carrie Underwood can say "so long" to Canada, for now at least. Her husband, hockey player Mike Fisher, has reportedly been traded from the Ottawa Senators to the Nashville Predators -- right in the heart of country music!

Nashville Predators President of Hockey Operations and General Manager David Poile released a statement regarding Fisher's move.

"We were seeking a top-six forward, and Mike Fisher was the player we set our sights on," Poile said. "Mike's playoff experience will be invaluable to our team, and he immediately makes our team stronger and deeper."

The move couldn't be to a better city in Underwood's eyes. She recently opened up to Detriot radio station WYCD about her and Fisher's love for Nashville, according to OK! Magazine.

"We both love Nashville," she said. "I envision myself living there long after I have kids and long after I'm done singing and all that stuff, just because it's a great place to live."

She continued, "You can work, you can write, you can record, you can shoot videos and all that stuff, but you can also find land and spread out a bit."

Underwood and Fisher wed last July in Georgia. But while the newlyweds continue to work and settle into their new Nashville home, Fisher will also be busy making the trade a worthwile one for the Predators.

According to the team's press release, the Predators acquired Fisher from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the team's first-round pick in the 2011 draft and a conditional pick in the 2012 draft. The conditional pick is Nashville's third-round selection if the Predators win one round in the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs, and turns into a second round pick in next year if the team wins more than two rounds.

That is a great move all the way around. Hope you have a good caretaker for that new home in Ottawa you just built? Mike's numbers should improve having Carrie's incredible inspiration and love next to him in their daily walk. That is really cool.....if he can stand hanging with a bunch of hillbillies.
