The silliness of NHL Trade Deadline day is in full force. You know, because clearly, as the first order of business following a trade of Rick Nash, the Columbus Blue Jackets alerted the city, which instructed employees to take down street banners bearing his resemblance.
City Of Columbus Takes Down Rick Nash Banners, Which Obviously Indicates Trade
It’s the only possible explanation. So what if he’s still on their website ...
... and hanging in the arena ...
... and if just about every hockey reporter in North America has said a deal of Rick Nash doesn’t seem imminent on Monday. The Blue Jackets have instructed the city to take down these banners, because that absolutely must be the first order of business before a trade is officially announced.
Trade deadline day can be really, really silly.
