The Habs have acquired defenseman Niclas Wallin in return for Suchy and a 2nd round draft pick. Suchy hasn't been playing in the NHL for the last two years and we needed a defenseman badly. Wallin is playing Top 4 minutes in Carolina and we plan on resigning him next year. I hate giving up draft picks in a supposedly strong draft year but it was a move we needed to make.

Thanks Steve for the easy deal.
