Huge Trade

 

Ryan Johanson and Seth Jones have just been involved in a blockbuster trade minutes ago. The two players are both 4th overall picks in their drafts. Columbus gets a great D-man which will make a huge impact hopefully, Nashville gets a 30 goal scoring center. This is a huge risk for the Predators, but it could be worth it even though they lose a key part of their defense. Columbus has made also a risky move since that takes away their offense star on the team, but boosts their defense. I think a huge reason Johanson was traded was because of his relationship with John Tortorella and his not so great season. I think Jones was traded because the Predators already have good defenceman with Josi and Weber. This trade can go either way with Johanson continuing to not have a good season or playing better with a new team or Jones will be an average defenceman or he will be a great fit in for the Blue Jackets. This is a smart trade for Columbus since they are last place and need to do something with all of their young talent eventually instead of wasting it. The Predators need to be a Stanley Cup contender soon with all the talent they now have on their team. Is this a good step in the Blue Jackets rebuilt? Is this a fair trade? Who won the trade? Stay tuned.....
