The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that they have traded center Ryan Johansen for defenseman Seth Jones in a straight up trade of young, high draft picks. This is a hockey trade that benefits both clubs, in which they swap fine young players.
Seth Jones was having a difficult time cracking a deep Nashville defensive corps, and will see his minutes leap in Columbus. Johansen had an awkward start to the year, and was in need of a reset. There are lots of instances where this has really benefited players, and I think it likely to be the case for Johansen.
