You might have glossed over the trade acquisition for Adam McQuaid when the Blue Jackets made that trade at the time. And honestly, next to getting Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel, McQuaid sure wasn’t the sexy name. But he was a guy that came in with a physical presence, could provide minutes defensively, and represented the lone Blue Jackets player with a Stanley Cup ring.
I said it at time, that the veteran presence could only help a team like Columbus.
