The Columbus Blue Jackets are losing Sergei Bobrovsky in free agency. That much has been known since last summer, confirmed just days after the season ending when he listed his downtown condo on the market. The Blue Jackets had already signed future netminder Elvis Merzlikins and have Joonas Korpisalo as a restricted free agent.
The team has stated that they are comfortable with the duo as a goaltending tandem next season. But with such little experience (Korpisalo has started 81 NHL games, Merzlikins has started zero), the team could still look to sign a goaltender for depth and perhaps move Korpisalo.
