TRADE ALERT: Columbus Blue Jackets trade away a 28 goal scorer for basically NOTHING

Today the Columbus Blue Jackets signed Patrik Laine to a sizeable deal, which put them over the cap limit.

Unfortuantely for the Jackets, this meant they needed to trade someone away to get under the cap.

We have just learned that the Columbus Blue Jackets have made a deal with the Seattle Kraken:
