In case you missed it the Columbus Blue Jackets decided to trade Oliver Bjorkstrand to the Seattle Kraken for a 3rd and 4th round draft pick. Ironically less then a week after Bjorkstrand just bought a new home in Columbus, and was on his honeymoon with his wife when he was told about the trade.
A trade many Columbus Blue Jackets weren't to happy with but the Blue Jackets shared the Johnny Gaudreau and Patrik Laine contracts as reason for the trade.
It seemed like Gustav Nyquist would've been the one moved, given that Oliver Bjorkstrand was drafted by the Blue Jackets in 2013, won a Calder Cup in the AHL with the Cleveland Monsters, the current Blue Jackets affiliate, but that wasn't the case trading Bjorkstrand instead to Seattle.
Needless to say Bjorkstrand wasn't happy getting traded on his honeymoon would appear on a podcast with one of the big name hockey You Tubers named "Nasher" and would share that he believes: "That the Columbus Blue Jackets got fleeced."
