Why Don Waddell Moved David Jiříček

Nick Kypreos and Justin Bourne welcome in Columbus Blue Jackets' general manager Don Waddell (4:25) to chat about his most recent trade sending David Jiříček to the Minnesota Wild, where he sees the trajectory of his team moving forward, the haul on future draft picks in return, Elvis Merzlikins' maturity behind the net and in the locker room, and his focus at the trade deadline. Then, Nick, Justin and Sam McKee look ahead to the landscape of the trade market, Jake DeBrusk's goalscoring since joining the Vancouver Canucks, and the outlook on the teams at the bottom of the Atlantic Division.
