Blue Jackets' Julius Bergman: Headed to Columbus for now

Bergman and star forward Matt Duchene were traded to the Blue Jackets on Friday, with the Senators receiving prospects Vitaly Abramov and Jonathan Davidsson, a 2019 first-round pick and another conditional 2020 first-rounder, Bob McKenzie of TSN reports.

Bergman will likely be assigned to AHL Cleveland for the remainder of the season, and he'll almost certainly be moving on after that, as he's a pending restricted free agent and has been linked to Frolunda HC in his native Sweden for next year. Given that he's managed just six assists in 33 games for AHL Belleville, he can safely be ignored even if he does remain in North America for next year.
