(Columbus, Ohio)
A source close to the Blue Jackets General Manager Brett S. says that for the past couple of days the team has been discussing trades with multiple GM's league wide. The discussions have been centred around Columbus forwards David Backes and Radim Vrbata, with other unmentioned names being involved. The source was also fairly confident in stating that Columbus is trying hard not to budge on trading away either of these two in a package deal without receiving a first round pick.
One of the strongest rumours out there is that there may be a possible deal going on with GM Nick Houda of Boston, including Backes and/or Vrbata. This deal may have hit a snag when one of the GM's supposedly asked for an untouchable from the other team. It sounds like this rumour is gaining some ground, so don't be surprised to see a deal hammered out between these teams in the next few days. We can only speculate as to some of the players Columbus might be interested in from Boston, most likely youngsters Logan Couture, John Carlson, and Jakub Voracek.
