[Trade] Blue Jackets trade Oliver Bjorkstrand to Kraken for 2023 3rd-round pick, 2023 4th-round pick

Seems rushed.

Several teams trying to clear cap - wait and it could be them adding the picks.  Seattle wanted to add scoring and had cap space but if that spot is filled than it doesn't leave many options.  Quite a few teams look to have cap space but have to sign their RFAs.

Blue Jackets getting ready to sign someone else or do another trade?

 

Tkachuk maybe?

 

 

They had to clear cap - they were above after signing Laine, Gaudreau and Gudbranson.

I mean, the guy sure put up points but he was also a -35...

On Columbus. They weren’t exactly the best defensive team. The -35 isn’t all in him. He produced offensively and gave the team a chance to win on many nights.

I doubt it. That cap clearing was because of Laine. 
 

If the somehow got Tketchup as well, that would be a coup.

 

They would have one of the best top lines in all of the NHL. 
 

I doubt it though.

Seattle burning through it's cap space like no tomorrow? 

They can afford it. 
 

I now hope they become a relevant team in the Western Conference. 
 

I’d love a rivalry with Seattle if they were competing to win against the Nucks on game per game basis. 
 

Calgary is no longer relevant as a rival, maybe Seattle is their replacement.

I mean, as bad as it looks for Columbus, if you look at it from a different angle, they added picks to replace Bjorkstrand with Gaudreau...

 

Of course they could have got a lot more value for Bjorkstrand under different circumstances, but apparently didn't realize signing Gaudreau would be a realistic option until right before it happened.
