As the NHL trade deadline rapidly approaches, all seems to be quiet around the Columbus Blue Jackets. But it feels like it's only a matter of time before they do something big. Why not now? Could they put together a package for Robert Thomas, considered by many as the best player on the market?
It won't be cheap, but I think they have the assets to do it. The Jackets have mostly treaded water this season, though their hot run over the last 12 games does have them right back in the playoff hunt. We hope they can dig in and keep playing at this pace, but I'm skeptical of their firepower.
