The Nashville Predators have traded defenseman Seth Jones to the Columbus Blue Jackets for center Ryan Johansen.

Predators general manager David Poile said:

Ryan is a big, young center that can score, set up goals, win faceoffs. He's a No. 1 center who is still growing his game and has the size (6-foot-3, 218 pounds) and skill that we have been looking for to match up with the best in the League.

Johansen, 23, has six goals and 20 assists in 38 games this season, after an NHL career high 71 points last season. Jones, 21, has one goal and 10 assists this season. What's your opinion of this trade?
