In a surprise deal, Peeke has been dealt to the Boston Bruins. He played 218 games for the Blue Jackets and tallied 10 goals and 32 assists. His frequent scratches and large contract made many think he was untradeable.
The return is Jakub Zboril, a left-handed defenseman who will be a UFA this summer.
Thank you, Peeke. All the best in Boston!
UPDATE:
This clears $2.75m of cap space for the Blue Jackets for the next two seasons.
