TSN: Darren Dreger on Insider Trading notes that both Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky are scheduled to become UFAs next July and speculation will continue.
“Now I’m told that Jarmo Kekalainen, the general manager of the Blue Jackets continues to get trade calls with interest on Artemi Panarin. He has no interest in trading him and his principle point of interest is trying to convince him to re-sign, likewise for Sergei Bobrovsky. But it doesn’t sound like the mood has changed for Panarin that he wants a market change so this is a story we’ll continue to follow for months I’m sure.
