The Columbus Blue Jackets have traded defenseman Andrew Peeke to the Boston Bruins in exchange for defenseman Jakub Zboril and a 2027 3rd round pick. The Blue Jackets will not retain any of Peeke's salary, which stands at $2.75M for two more years. This move is part of the Blue Jackets' efforts to clear out space on their defense and shed salary commitments. Zboril, who was the 13th overall pick in 2015 and is a UFA this summer, has spent this season with AHL Providence after playing sparingly with the Bruins over the last four seasons. Peeke was potentially trending toward a buyout this summer. The trade comes ahead of today's NHL trade deadline.
