NHL Players Cross Paths at Airport After Being Traded for Each Other

Hours after being traded for each other, NHL players Ryan Johansen and Seth Jones ran into one another at the airport as they both traveled to their new cities.

On Wednesday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets announced that they had dealt Johansen to the Nashville Predators in exchange for Jones in a swap of former No. 4 overall picks. The two players would wind up crossing paths later that night.

Johansen was at Port Columbus when Jones' plane arrived, and they spent some time filling each other in on their respective former cities. Of course, it was the perfect opportunity for two buddies to take a photo together, which Jones regrammed:

Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch shared more details of the players' meeting:
