As the Blue Jackets continue to search for the winning combination, it still seems like they need to find some defensemen.
While it's true that they have a serviceable enough corps at the moment, it still feels like they need to shuffle things around at that position if they want to really improve. With rumors of an unhappy recent top-10 NHL Draft pick in Anaheim, the Jackets would be wise to check in.
That defenseman is Pavel Mintyukov, who seems like he would at least be an upgrade to throw into the third pairing. In fact, I feel so strongly about it, that if he is made available; I think the Jackets should try to put together a package to acquire him.
