You've probably already seen this by now, but there have been reports that the Jackets are trying to strike a deal with the Arizona Coyotes to move up to third overall.
One of the initial reports stated that Coyotes were exploring the idea of trading their first rounder, and that the Jackets were one of the teams interested in moving up.
This was followed up with:
#CBJ have expendable roster forwards if #Coyotes want immediate help. Anisimov makes sense, as does Atkinson.

#CBJ have plenty of forward prospects to dangle, too.
