We’ll get to the games in a bit, but this was one of those weekends where the wins and losses weren’t the big story. Instead, we had a trade to announce. And not just any trade, but a legitimate blockbuster that was also an old-fashioned hockey trade.
Sort of. We’ll get to that.
First, the details, just in case you somehow missed them:
#CBJ acquire:
Patrick Laine
Jack Roslovic#Jets acquire:
Pierre-Luc Dubois
3rd round pick— Aaron Portzline (@Aportzline) January 23, 2021
It’s not quite a one-for-one, but with apologies to a good young player in Jack Roslovic and whoever gets drafted with that pick, it will probably be perceived that way, at least initially.
