NHL Rumors: Blue Jackets, Blackhawks, Predators, and the Jets
Panarin willing to talk contract with the Blue Jackets?Aaron Portzline: Columbus Blue Jackets pending UFA Artemi Panarin‘s agent Daniel Milstein wants to have another meeting with Panarin before he tells the Blue Jackets their willingness to talk contract extension. Panarin and Milstein met in Miami but another meeting is necessary.
Kunitz may not be willing to move
Jimmy Greenfield: (Friedman notes in his 31 Thoughts that teams are watching Chicago Blackhawks Chris Kunitz and John Hayden) “Don’t see why Kunitz would waive his NMC. He’s got 3 small kids, came to Chicago to stay put and already has four rings. Plus, he might be healthy scratched where he goes anyway.”
