Update: Jackets’ GM sets the record straight on Anderson rumors
KeyStone Press

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman revealed earlier today that restricted free agent Josh Anderson has requested a trade from the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Well, someone might want to notify the team's GM Jarmo Kekalainen, who has told Pierre LeBrun, and later to Friedman, that he is still negotiating a contract extension with the 23-year-old talented forward and that he is not aware of the trade talks. 

“This trade request is news to me,” he said. “And we are not looking to trade Josh Anderson.”

Anderson's agent Darren Ferris has refused to comment on his client's demand to be traded by the Jackets, but did hint at an imminent solution. 


Is Anderson simply putting pressure on his team management to make sure he can jump on the ice for the season opener?
