Bob for Vikingstad

[Tape-to-Tape 298]

Just yesterday a deal was made with Seattle. The Titans sent Jim Bob over to the Bears for offensive powerhouse Ola Vikingstad. Both of these players are from the season 71 draft and had remained on their drafted teams until the transaction. Both players are very different as Bob is very physical and pass first type of player. Vikingstad is a shoot first type of player but also has a good physical side to him. It is not a common thing to see one for one player deals at this level but I do think both teams made out well here. Vikingstad has been great for the Titans right away having multipoint games on the top line with Spaz and Vaakanainen. The deal for Helsinki gives them the extra scoring power they needed to make another run at the cup. Seattle is getting more physical and adds more dimension to their roster as they try to repeat.
