Blue Jackets acquire forward Thomas Vanek

Thomas Vanek always seems to be on the move at the trade deadline, and this year is no different, with the Vancouver Canucks reportedly sending the forward to the Columbus Blue Jackets.

According to TSN, the Canucks receive forward Tyler Motte and the contract of Jussi Jokinen.

Vanek is an unrestricted free agent after this season.

Since the start of the 2013-14 season, Vanek has played for seven teams: the Sabres, Canadiens, Islanders, Wild, Panthers, Red Wings and Canucks.

This is the fourth time he has been traded in the past five seasons.
