A Ranking of Jarmo Kekalainen’s Trade History

The 2019 NHL Trade Deadline is just over a month away, on February 25. Once again, the Blue Jackets look to be active participants. Will they make small tweaks to the lineup for a playoff push? Or will they make a blockbuster deal involving Sergei Bobrovsky or Artemi Panarin?

Because it’s the bye week and I’m bored, I thought I would rank the trades that Columbus has made since Jarmo Kekalainen took over as GM in February 2013.

I scored each transaction based on the value of what was given up, what was received, how the trade was viewed at the time, and how it looks now with the benefit of hindsight.
