I don't think that Pachal deserves to be taken out, but at the same time, it is obvious that this is just to rotate Barrie back in. Bean has been putting up points and looking better, so he stays in even if Pachal has been fine too. I do find Barrie to be lacking somehow, but may be he just needs more reps to get going. Keeping an open mind, but unless he starts becoming more effective, I don't see any teams calling Calgary about him at the deadline.
