Personally I think if Columbus does trade #3 they will want a team to eat some salary as part of the cost of trading down.
Players they may be looking to move out:
Dubinsky: 5 years left at $5.8M
Clarkson: 4 years at $5.25
Hartnell: 3 years at $4.750
Tyutin: 2 years at $4.5M
Bobrovsky: 3 years at $7.425
If you are the Flames would you go full blockbuster and ease some of the cap constraints that Columbus has, while potentially solving a goalie problem.
If the Blue Jackets offer you up #3 and Bobrovsky what are you willing to move?
