New York Rangers Trade Marian Gaborik to Columbus
The New York Rangers have traded forward Marian Gaborik to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Derrick Brassard, Derek Dorsett and John Moore. The deal comes on the heels of the Rangers’ acquisition of Ryane Clowe and makes sense from their standpoint, with Gaborik hardly happy and coach John Tortorella hardly happy with him. Gaborik [...]
Blue Jackets Name Jarmo Kekalainen as New GM
The Columbus Blue Jackets wasted little time replacing Scott Howson in the general manager position, bringing in Jarmo Kekalainen to fill the void. He’s from Finland, which makes him the first European to be a GM in the NHL. Somewhere, Donald S. Cherry is bursting out of one of his trademark suits… “One of my dreams [...]
Blue Jackets Fire GM Scott Howson
The Columbus Blue Jackets have fired general manager Scott Howson (not pictured). This is clearly a response to the slow start the Jackets have been enjoying thus far in 2013, with a solid 13th place in the Western Conference and a record of 4-7-2 through the last 13 games to show for themselves. Howson, he [...]
Rick Nash Traded to New York Rangers

As was expected, interest in Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash has been heating up. The market is said to be red hot for Nash leading into the NHL Entry Draft, which goes next week.

Howson: “The price was high and I don’t apologize for that”
One of the more compelling storylines on a slow trade deadline day involved whether or not Columbus’ Rick Nash would be moved. The Blue Jackets had been having a fire sale and stripped the team of most of its offensive punch, moving Jeff Carter and Antoine Vermette prior to the deadline. It was no secret [...]
Vancouver Canucks Acquire Samuel Pahlsson
The Vancouver Canucks have acquired centre Samuel Pahlsson from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for two fourth round draft picks. The deal is a good one for the Canucks as it bolsters their club up the middle and gives them a defensive specialist. The checking centre has won a Cup with the Anaheim Ducks. [...]
Blue Jackets to Make More Moves?
Despite moving Jeff Carter and Antoine Vermette, it doesn’t look like Columbus is done when it comes to making trades before this Monday’s deadline. “I’ve been pretty clear about what I’m saying,” GM Scott Howson said. “We’re looking at every and all opportunities to improve this hockey team; but I’m not going to comment on [...]
Jeff Carter Traded to Kings
The Columbus Blue Jackets have pulled the trigger on yet another significant deal, this time sending Jeff Carter to the Los Angeles Kings. They’ll get defenceman Jack Johnson and a first-round draft pick in return. The trade is pending Carter passing a physical. This means that Carter will reunite with Mike Richards, his former Philadelphia [...]
