The newest Blue Jackets blue-liner offered his apartment to the newest member of the Predators, according to Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch.

The players ran into each other at the Port Columbus airport following the trade and had a 20-minute conversation during which Jones offered Johansen his apartment in Nashville, according to Portzline.
