Jimmy Murphy: Source said yesterday that the Boston Bruins have called the Columbus Blue Jackets again about forward Artemi Panarin. The starting point would be Jake DeBrusk, a first-round pick and a top prospect.
Chris Nichols of Nichols on Hockey: Darren Dreger was on TSN 1050 talking about the future of Columbus Blue Jackets Artemi Panarin.
Dreger says the Boston Bruins would be interested. It may not make sense for the Florida Panthers to go in heavy now, but maybe later as a free agent.
The Panthers may have an interest in both Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky – unlikely at the deadline but maybe in the offseason.
