This is the mother of all trade deadlines for Blue Jackets fans. We have two of our best players, Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky who will test the free agency waters come July 1. They are major assets on our team as currently constructed, and it is not certain the organization will reap any benefit from the remainder of their contracts other than their play.
To me this is somewhat of a sign of the maturation of our franchise. Seldom have the Jackets been so newsworthy.
But none of that really helps this writer cope with the uncertainty.
