The Columbus Blue Jackets certainly aren't wasting any time trying to get help on the blue-line.
After hearing of top-defensive prospect Mike Reilly's decision to test free-agency, before entering the big leagues, leaves Columbus with a wealth of talent at forward, with much lacking on the back-end.
It seems very likely that Columbus would be willing to swap, given the talent level.
The Blue Jackets had the sixth worst goals against this season so defense is a priority for the club. Meanwhile, the Blue Jackets have young talent to spare.Rychel had three assists in five games with the Blue Jackets during the regular season and had 12 goals and 31 points in 51 games in his first season with the Springfield Falcons of the American Hockey League.
There's a good chance this scoring prospect will be changing addresses.
