Today, Chris Johnson dropped a couple of bits of news. First the official team statement from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Gustav Nyquist:
Gustav Nyquist is out for the season, per #CBJ, but doesn't require surgery. He was considered a deadline trade chip prior to suffering his injury.
**correcting an earlier tweet, since deleted— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) February 1, 2023That’s “doesn’t require surgery”.
Nyquist was likely going to be moved, but like all players in his salary level, there would need to be talk of retention for most acquiring teams.
