The Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen is known for making moves that no one sees coming. The original Brandon Saad trade, the Jones for Johansen deal and the Artemi Panarin trade were all fairly unexpected.
With all the rumors floating around the team, it seems almost certain that Kekalainen will have to make a predictable move for once. That doesn’t mean that he’ll only make those predictable moves. If Kekalainen makes a move, expect it to be something that nobody in the media predicts.
The Columbus Blue Jackets need to make moves if they want to stay competitive this season, but they also need to do so if they want to build for the future.
