Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen declares that his club is looking for a center following Pierre-Lub Dubois forcing his way out of town.
“Now we have to get back into our hunt, finding a centreman either through the draft or through a trade. They aren’t available very often. There could be some available in the free agent market next summer.”
Unrestricted free agent centers potentially available this offseason include Phillip Danault, David Krejci, Paul Stastny, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Eric Staal.
Mikko Koivu retired midseason and Max Domi hasn’t worked out as a center, exasperating Columbus’ need down the middle.
