2 NHL stars traded for each other cross paths at the airport on the way to their new cities
If one hockey player leaves Nashville at 2 p.m. heading northeast, and a second player departs Columbus traveling southwest, where will they intersect?
On Wednesday, the Columbus Blue Jackets announced they would send star center Ryan Johansen to the Nashville Predators in exchange for defenseman Seth Jones, a top-five draft pick in 2013.
At the airport en route to his new city, whom should Johansen -- last year’s All-Star MVP -- run into? Yup.
This sort of run-in has happened before: last year, the Angels’ Ernesto Frieri and the Pirates’ Jason Grilli were traded and then bumped into one another in the Chicago O’Hare bathroom.
