A report coming out of Columbus from Aaron Portzline states the Blue Jackets could be considering a buyout of center, Alexander Wennberg. The 26 year-old Swede trained with Mika Zibanejad and may be a nice 3rd line fit for the Rangers.
The Blue Jackets, according to league sources, appear to be considering a contract buyout of their former first-round draft pick, a player who appeared to be on the cusp of becoming a No. 1 center just three seasons ago. It’s a decision that could save the Blue Jackets $10.7 million over the next three seasons — but only if they act now.
