The Columbus Blue Jackets have acquired Ryan Kujawinski from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for Jordan Maletta. Both players are currently in the minor leagues.
Kujawinski, selected 73rd in 2013, has already been involved in a trade earlier this season. In December, the New Jersey Devils sent him to the desert in exchange for Michael Latta. He played just 19 games for the Tucson Roadrunners, scoring just two points and now being moved once again.
Maletta on the other hand went undrafted before signing an entry-level deal in 2016. After a solid OHL career, the 22-year old Maletta hasn’t been able to keep up the same kind of offensive production in the AHL and instead is counted on as just a big bodied defensive presence.
