“Phillip Danault was traded to the Canadiens on Friday night, just minutes before Mason Marchment was dealt to the Blue Jackets.
Marchment joined the Blue Jackets the very next day-and scored in his first game on Saturday night with Columbus.
I understand that Danault had a longer flight to take (Los Angeles to Montreal) and that it was unrealistic to think he would face the Penguins on Saturday at the Bell Centre, but it is still unusual that he did not join the team in Pittsburgh yesterday.”
