(HFNHL) Jackets get busy at deadline

[Ohio Jones]

Busy deadline for the Jackets. Five deals over the past four weeks, most in the past few days. Set myself up for next year and strengthened my playoff chances, but gutted much of my futures in the process. This is all a consequence of acquiring a superstar ahead of schedule (Hedman, added last year) and then trying to assemble a team around him.

Here’s the final damage.

Out:
Derick Brassard
Hendrix Lapierre
Ryan O’Rourke
Vasily Ponomarev
Filip Lindberg
Keith Petruzzelli
Samuel Bolduc
Gannon Laroque
Nicolas Meloche
Brett Berard
