What a night in Vegas. The Columbus Blue Jackets pull of a big trade with the Vegas Golden Knights freeing up some cap space and protecting young stars.
But it came at a high price. The deal included the 2017 1st round pick going to the desert. That leaves the Jackets without a pick until the third round which won’t happen until Saturday.
The Jackets still have four picks this year. They also have already landed a top goalie prospect in Matiss Kivlenieks three weeks ago. This signing is just as good as a top draft pick itself.
