The Blue Jackets have acquired Adam Boqvist, the No.12 overall pick, a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick from the Blackhawks for Seth Jones, the No.32 overall pick and a 2022 sixth-round pick.

Boqvist was the No.8 overall pick in 2018 and enjoyed some success in his first full NHL season in 2021. The 20-year-old had two goals with 14 assists (16 points) in 35 games with the Blackhawks last year and will likely see a massive workload increase in 2021-22. Boqvist could replace Jones on the Blue Jackets' top-pairing with Zach Werenski.

The Rangers have placed Anthony DeAngelo on unconditional waivers for purpose of buying out his contract.

DeAngelo's future with the Rangers ended after a reported physical altercation with Alexandar Georgiev in January. He was officially bought out on Saturday and will save the Rangers $4.4M in 2021-22 but cost them $883K in 2022-23.
