This is a great deal in my mind, adresses needs. Top 2 d-man for a Top 3 forward. Never seen a big trade like this where its player for player. I like it

Agreed, both sides win I think

Time will tell, both sides won but who comes out on top is the bigger question.....

I feel like bringing this trade to the top of the folder again. What an exciting hockey deal, and looking back it worked out phenomenally for both teams and both players. Excellent fits with their respective clubs.

I think it's worked well for both.

Imagine Nashville having 5 top pairing defensemen if they didn't trade Jones...

They still needed to do it, especially when Ribeiro fell off a cliff. It's just fun thinking about a defense where either Seth Jones or Ryan Ellis is on the third pair.

Josi, Subban, Ekholm, Ellis, and Jones. wow.

Amazing trade for both teams.

From the trade tree standpoint, Columbus has won so far, But only time will tell until Johansen gets traded.

That Galchenyuk youngster might be a star for the Preds.

It’s not fair to judge this trade by where everybody is 7 years later, but it’s still fun to compare the two players. I’d say Jones probably turned out to be the better player after the trade, but I think both teams were happy with what they got. Both players eventually got their big 8-year contracts. Johansen got his sooner by signing a bridge deal coming off his entry-level contract, but I think Jones will do better in the long run by getting paid top dollar for more of his declining years. Columbus is probably happy they traded him away when they did, and Nashville might think they hung onto their guy a little too long.

It was a fun trade because it was one of those rare old-fashioned hockey trades that we don’t see much anymore. I think it was just a case of each team being deep at a position the other team needed, talent for talent with no financial or contractual drivers.
