Clarkson was traded to the Blue Jackets on Thursday in exchange for Nathan Horton (back). The two teams will swap forwards with undesirable contracts, and while Horton (back) is the more promising player from a talent perspective, it's entirely possible that the former Bruin (and Blue Jacket) will never be able to play again. Clarkson is healthy, but with just 26 points over the last two seasons, he hasn't come anywhere close to living up to his contract. He will likely skate on the third or fourth line for his new team.
