Columbus Blue Jackets secure playoff spot despite blowing lead in final minute

The Columbus Blue Jackets went all-in at the trade deadline, loading up with trades and holding onto two players on expiring contracts, forward Artemi Panarin and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky, despite their intentions to sign elsewhere this summer.

“We have informed the team that we are willing to discuss Artemi’s future after the season,” Milstein said. “Our priority now is to focus on the rest of the season, trying to win a Stanley Cup for the Columbus Blue Jackets and their fans.”

According to The Athletic, Milstein let general manager Jarmo Kekalainen know while the GM was in a meeting with the club’s ownership.
