Big news! The Vancouver Canucks reportedly have traded this year's 9th overall N.H.L. draft pick, a 2nd round pick next year, a 7th round pick in 2023, LW Loui Eriksson, C Jay Beagle, & LW Antoine Roussel for D Oliver Ekman-Larsson & RW Conor Garland. 12% of Ekman-Larsson's salary is retained by Arizona.

Also, Columbus has agreed to trade Seth Jones to Chicago. Here's more on this:

Seth Jones Traded To Chicago Blackhawks

The Columbus Blue Jackets have dealt Seth Jones to the Chicago Blackhawks. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman is reporting that defenseman Adam Boqvist is part of the return to Columbus. TSN’s Darren Dreger is reporting that the Blackhawks are also signing Jones to an eight-year extension worth $9.5MM per season. Elliotte Friedman reports that the full deal is Jones heading to Chicago along with the 32nd overall tonight and a 2022 sixth-round pick, with Boqvist, 11th overall, a second-round pick, and a 2022 first-round pick coming in return.

It’s a new beginning for Jones, who’s coming off one of the worst seasons in his career. Scoring 28 points in 56 games, Jones was unusually suspect defensively, and his regression was a decently large reason that Columbus suffered the way they did this season. It remains to be seen how Jones will fit in Columbus, but if he can get back to his former performance, he could help solidify an evolving defense core in Chicago. After Chicago acquired Seth’s brother, Caleb Jones, from the Edmonton Oilers in the Duncan Keith trade, it’s possible that the two brothers could form a pairing in Chicago’s top four along with Calvin de Haan and Connor Murphy.

Columbus is getting a decent haul of assets here too. They’ll now be selecting twice in the top 15 picks of tonight’s 2021 NHL Entry Draft, and they’ll be selecting three times in the first round overall. Boqvist is also an extremely important young addition to the Columbus blueline. It’s likely that Boqvist, who’s seen his advanced metrics skyrocket since his rookie season, will be ready for more responsibility with Columbus next season. He put up nice offensive numbers with 16 points in 35 games this season, and could replace Jones as Zach Werenski’s partner on Columbus’ top pairing.

Enjoy watching this draft everyone. I'm going to go home & watch it shortly.

Thanks.

[stlavin95]

No problem

TNT off to a bad start with some broadcast issues, during the Boston Bruins Philadelphia Flyers preseason game last night. I watch TNT every Wednesday night for wrestling for the last two years, no issues ..

[stlavin95]

Hopefully that can work out them soon

[canflam]

Yeah. I didn't mind NBC's coverage of hockey. I know that some didn't enjoy it though. It's still hockey though, which is 1 of my favourite sports to watch. Certainly on TNT I hope for the best there.
