January 6, 2016 will be remembered for the blockbuster hockey trade that went down shortly after 6pm ET when the Columbus Blue Jackets traded center Ryan Johansen to the Nashville Predators for defenseman Seth Jones.
The Blue Jackets get a top-level blue liner that they have been lacking while the Predators get a potential number one center to play alongside of James Neal. Of course, pundits and experts have had their takes on the trade rolling in on social media, but what about the fans?
After all, the fans are the ones who spend money on tickets and jerseys. So, we decided to look around the Twitterverse and find some of the best reactions to the deal that we could find regarding the trade. Have a look.
General reactions
The real question in this #NSH #CBJ trade, will Calle Jarnkrok give up the coveted number 19?

Nashville needed the offense, had way too much defense, perfect fit. #CBJ will regret that one
