Vegas Golden Knights

Thursday saw some action on the trade front and Thursday evening there was even more talk about trades that could come before the market opened. There was also buzz about teams that might have targets they were keying in on as the free agency bell range to open the bidding. The Jets and Golden Knights Working on a Stastny Deal During Thursday's TSN insiders trading episode, Darren Dreger and Frank Seravalli spoke about a deal that might have been cooking between the Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded defenceman Ryan Murray to the New Jersey Devils for a fifth-round pick in 2021. This move followed the earlier buyout of 26-year-old forward Alexander Wennberg and the trade of defenceman Markus Nutivaara to the Florida Panthers. With those moves, they cleared a total of $11.1 million in cap space. Murray has spent his entire career with the Blue Jackets after being selected second overall in the 2012 draft. In seven injury-riddled seasons, he posted 15 goals and 110 points in 347 games. Murray has one year remaining on his contract, originally signed in 2019, that carries a $4.6 million cap hit. He now joins a Devils' team that is looking to bounce back from an abysmal season in 2019-20. As a left-defenceman, he could partner with PK Subban to form a very strong top-pairing. He will likely play on the power play as well, and be counted upon to eat up a lot of minutes...

Previews and Predictions

The 2020 NHL Draft has come and gone. For the Columbus Blue Jackets, they were right in the middle of all the action. Their draft day started with a big bang. Josh Anderson and the Blue Jackets were unable to reach an agreement. Therefore he was traded to the Montreal Canadiens for center Max Domi and a third-round pick in this draft. Related: Blue Jackets/Canadiens Trade Risk for Both Sides The Blue Jackets were always looking for a top-six center. If Anderson was going to go in any deal, that had to be in the return. This deal was rumored for some time given the fit on each side. In the end, it's a good hockey trade for both sides. The Blue Jackets get a number-two center behind Pierre-Luc Dubois who can help on their power play. The Canadiens get a power forward on the wing who is a physical presence. Domi and the Blue Jackets then agreed to a two-year, $10.6 million contract that takes him right to UFA status. He will get $4.6 million this season and $6 million...
