If expansion happens in 2017 Columbus will have to protect Dubisnky, Hartnell, Foligno, Clarkson and Tyutin. That eats up four of their forward spots. Packaging one of those players with #3 and moving down might be a good opportunity for them to give themselves a little more flexibility.

Would we be open to taking 3 + Clarkson for 6 + 53 + Prospect? Would Columbus be open to that?
I wouldn't because....

this probably. Unless somehow Clarkson can be convinced to waive his NMC.
