There's been some off and on suggestions that Columbus might be interested in the talented young defenseman, but a report out of Boston today suggests there's some fire under all that smoke.
Some interesting news out of Boston - it seems the Bruins are having some trouble getting RFA defenseman Dougie Hamilton under contract - and it sounds like there's serious concerns about someone sending over an offer sheet.
In that same article, the Bruins beat writer Joe Haggerty suggested that the Blue Jackets are showing "keen interest" in Hamilton, who would be an obvious solution to the team's issues on the blue line.
