HNIC:
Jack Johnson's trade request relates to failed contract talks with the Blue Jackets.
He is playing under 20 minutes per game for the first time in his career.
Hoping to get traded to someplace he can sign an extension
Canadians are still interested in Pierre-Luc Dubois.
Habs tried to move up in the draft to get him.
Kypreos: Dubois' stock with Blue Jackets has increased but not to the point where he is untouchable.
Columbus might start entertaining the idea of trading Dubois once Wennberg and Dubinsky get back in the line up.
Their window to win is this year and next and then they have to make some decisions.
Friedman: not sure if it gets them Dubois, but Columbus has had interest in Galcheynuk in the past
Dorion prefers to be patient and wait before flipping assets like Hoffman, Smith, and Pageau
Tampa thought they lost Hedman for the rest of the season, ecstatic when they didn't.
Prior to Hedman's injury, Yzerman got a lot of calls on Koekkoek
Boston was interested. Ottawa talked about maybe a swap for Ceci.
Decision not to trade Koekkoek looks smart now with the Hedman injury.
Rangers ready to listen on Nash, Grabner, Desharnais, Zucarello, McDonaugh. No guarantees they do anything
SJ is trying to move Paul Martin (1 yr $4.85 mil cap hit left) and there are people who believe he can help someone
