Columbus Blue Jackets Trade Deadline Review: Two Weeks Later
Two weeks ago, the Columbus Blue Jackets finalized two trades just before the NHL Trade Deadline. Today, I review those trades by the involved players’ performances.
Like every year, the NHL Trade Deadline approached and some teams scrambled to make moves. In 2017, the Columbus Blue Jackets were not one of those teams. The Blue Jackets refrained from making any big or flashy moves, deciding to improve their depth.
The moves that I am referencing are the acquisitions of defenseman Kyle Quincey and forward Lauri Korpikoski. Both players are over the age of 30 and have 30+ playoff games under their respective belts.
TRADE #1 – Blue Liner for Blue Liner
