Columbus Blue Jackets General Manager Jarmo Kekalainen has made it clear that the team is not looking to deal away promising young players in exchange for draft picks or prospects. The latest example of this stance came when star defenseman Zach Werenski vetoed a potential trade to the Dallas Stars that would have sent 21-year-old defenseman Thomas Harley to Columbus. The Blue Jackets are now fielding offers from other teams, but it seems they're only interested in deals that bring them established NHL talent or players with a proven track record, rather than futures or prospects. As the NHL trade deadline approaches, Blue Jackets fans are eager to see if their team will make any significant moves to bolster their roster.
