The Vancouver Canucks traded forward Thomas Vanek to the Columbus Blue Jackets for forwards Tyler Motte and Jussi Jokinen, according to TSN's Bob McKenzie.

Vanek sits tied for second in on the team in scoring with 41 points in 61 games.
Meanwhile, Motte has three goals and five points in 31 games this season, while Jokinen joins his fourth different club this season.
