Blue Jackets Land Center Schroeder in Trade With Minnesota

Columbus has made a move to upgrade its center depth by acquiring Jordan Schroeder from the Wild in what could be a significant mid-summer transaction. The Blue Jackets are clearly looking to bolster their roster composition before the season begins, and landing a center addresses one of the team's core needs. This trade signals that Columbus' front office believes they have the pieces to compete, and Schroeder's addition could make a real difference in their depth chart.
