The Columbus Blue Jackets need to explore their options to add to the team, like every team continuously should do. Jan Kovar was recently released by the New York Islanders. With the Brandon Dubinsky injury, a one year deal for the former KHL star could be a good gamble.
A player in a similar situation, Anthony Duclair, has performed very well to start the season. Taking a risk on a player who, according to Alvis Kalnins of Hockeybuzz, is still trying to find a spot in the NHL may be beneficial to the Blue Jackets in the long run.
