Aaron Portzline of The Athletic: (mailbag) Feel that the NHL may be going back to a bit more physical brand of hockey. Teams may start looking at bringing in some bigger players. The Columbus Blue Jackets are much smaller now after the trading of Josh Anderson and Pierre-Luc Dubois, and less physical after the Nick Foligno and David Savard trades. It’s an area they need to address.
The Blue Jackets are expected to receive decent trade offers for both goaltenders – Joonas Korpisalo and Elvis Merzlikins.
