PELLETIER FOR BELL, KANA

The St. Louis Blues acquired forward Pascal Pelletier from the Columbus Blue Jackets for defenseman Brendan Bell and forward Tomas Kana.

What does it give the St. Louis Blues
Pelletier is a serviceable NHLer who excels in the AHL. He should provide the Blues with plenty of depth up front, and he may be recalled at some point during the 2009-10 campaign.

What does it give the Columbus Blue Jackets
Bell is an offensive defenseman, which is a rarity within the Jackets organization. He'll probably remain in the AHL for now, but could be recalled to provide more depth on the power play. Kana is a project.
