CBJ Rumors: Fedor Tyutin’s Future in Columbus

Fedor Tyutin’s future in Columbus may be coming to an end. With a disappointing season winding down and the state of the Blue Jacket’s future blue line, it looks more likely that a veteran defenseman will be moved out of Columbus in the near future. The Blue Jackets have managed to form a promising young defensive core to join the team’s strong goaltending for upcoming seasons. The 29 year old Jack Johnson and 32 year old Fedor Tyutin are two names to watch through February and in the offseason. While Johnson will likely spark interest in the trade market and prove to have a much higher trade value than Tyutin, moving the 32 year old Russian and his contract should be a team priority.
