Like every year, the NHL Trade Deadline approached and some teams scrambled to make moves. In 2017, the Columbus Blue Jackets were not one of those teams. The Blue Jackets refrained from making any big or flashy moves, deciding to improve their depth.
The moves that I am referencing are the acquisitions of defenseman Kyle Quincey and forward Lauri Korpikoski. Both players are over the age of 30 and have 30+ playoff games under their respective belts.
TRADE #1 – Blue Liner for Blue Liner
Kyle Quincey was sent from the New Jersey Devils, where he played 53 games and posted a 3 +/-.
