I really would have preferred to have gotten Vermette or Moore...but this deal should help out. I believe Pahlsson is 20th in faceoffs in the league. Although I will say Tallon wayyyyyy over paid for him. Why give up Wiz a pick and Kontiola? You should have been able to get Pahlsson for a 4th rd pick.
BTW Booby Mac said tonight on TSN again the Chicago is pushing very hard for Vermette. He is #1 on the list. He did not say it would cost us Barker. P Mac said Skille and wiz would probably get that deal done but CBJ's are pressing hard as well.

Hossa taken off the ice on a stretcher tonight so if he's seriously hurt Detroit could be a big presence at the deadline.
the blues telecasters later said he was fine, and was taken off as a precaution after a recent neck injury. He was at a local hospital, but all signs say he wont even miss a game
FWIW from the guy on Hockeybuzz that covers OTT:
"The Chicago Blackhawks, Columbus Blue Jackets, and Flordia have made serious pitchs for Vermette, and according to the Ottawa Sun, Chicago Blackhawks are leading the way.

The show's been extremely predictable lately...but that might be a good thing.
BTW, my wife just started watching the show this season. There's nothing more difficult than explaining storylines to someone with no foundation about what's taken place in previous seasons.
Good luck to you on that. My wife has watched here and there and I am still explaining things to her lol
My field is Chemistry and now I have to go get the BA in it... I should have a long time ago but never had to drive for it but now my job is requiring it so I have no choice now.
