For the second season in a row, the Columbus Blue Jackets will be sellers in the upcoming trade deadline. For the buyers in the room, they have until 3pm ET on Monday to improve their teams and ready themselves for a run at the Stanley Cup.
The Jackets won’t make as much noise as they did last season when they traded Nick Foligno and David Savard, but they do have a few trade pieces. Also available is a large amount of cap space. Don’t be surprised if Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen acts as a third party in a trade or takes on a bad contract to help a contender stay under the cap.
