The day OF the deadline, i remember reading it was Valimaki/Andersson/1st.

But there was stuff flying around all over the place that day, so who knows.
Doesn't really matter...Brunstrom was more highly sought after than either, so it would have required both. If we are still on the originally arguement involving Neal. I think Vegas still makes the deal and tries to dump him with picks if necessary. Let's not kid ourselves...if we had the slightly better prospect (and associated pick depth) that Vegas has we would have made the deal also. In addition...Vegas has been in need of a center point or star to market. They chased Karlsson for that reason and would have chased any other star name harder than we would have.
