Earlier this week, The Hockey News picked up a report that the Boston Bruins are looking for help on the blue line, and dangling C David Krecji as a piece to help get the deal done.
While they don't specifically mention Columbus as a possible trade partner, the team does stand out as a club who could potentially have a player to offer in the form of Jack Johnson or Dalton Prout, helping to open spots on the roster for younger players like Zach Werenski and David Kukan. But when you look at the numbers, the deal doesn't really make much sense for the Blue Jackets.
