Could Adam Larsson be on the move?

Word coming out of Columbus today indicates Adam Larsson, one of the top young defensemen in the MRFHL, could possibly be on the move should the Blue Jackets receive an enticing enough package.

No confirmation from anyone within the Columbus organization was had as of press time. But one would surmise the package to obtain Larsson would need to be large.

The Blue Jackets currently have bottom six forward issues (as in, they have none) but are pretty stocked defensively and in net. One possible scenario would be Columbus acquiring a competent defenseman or two, an excellent and young 3rd line player, high draft picks, and prospects for the 24-year old Larsson, whose defensive prowess at such a young age is almost unmatched throughout the league.

Calls to general manager Thomas Gidlow's office had not been returned at the time of this article posting. (But he should be available for trade discussions through the website, or email him directly at TGEskyward@gmail.com).
