Kirill Marchenko will need a brand new contract next yr, and the Blue Jackets didn\u2019t wish to trade Cole Sillinger to the Vancouver Canucks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sportsnet<\/strong><\/a>: Elliotte Friedman and Kyle Bukauskas on 32 Thoughts: The Podcast \u2013 32 Final Thoughts episode on the Columbus Blue Jackets. GM Don Waddell<\/a> said that Kirill Marchenko<\/a> will back next season. He\u2019s entering the last yr of his contract, and can need an enormous, latest deal. Are the Blue Jackets getting nervous a couple of Adam Fantilli<\/a> offer sheet? They really like Cole Sillinger<\/a> and didn\u2019t wish to trade him to the Vancouver Canucks.<\/p>\n

Bukauskas: \u201cBetween the Nichushkin deal and who they kept around. Seems like (Kirill) Marchenko\u2019s staying in Columbus in the intervening time, too. Elliotte, listening to (Blue Jackets GM Don) Waddell the opposite day. It\u2019s almost like time\u2019s ticking for things to alter here in a meaningful way, to get back to being a playoff team in Columbus. Because all of us sort of have an excellent sense of what\u2019s at stake now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Friedman: \u201cYeah. And you already know, Marchenko is, you talked about Don Waddell said he\u2019ll be back next yr. That\u2019ll be an interesting one, because he\u2019s a 30-goal guy and he\u2019ll need one other contract after next yr. That\u2019s going to be an enormous number. Like, people on the market have a whole lot of respect for Marchenko\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

And you already know the (Adam) Fantilli; we talked in regards to the offer sheets. Fantilli, how does Columbus feel? Are they nervous about it?<\/p>\n

And I\u2019ll let you know the opposite one which\u2019s really interesting is Cole Sillinger declared for arbitration on Sunday. Columbus really thinks that Sillinger is an enormous a part of their team. They think he\u2019s really necessary of their room. Like, the Canucks really liked him and tried to get him for some time, but they were like almost like no, like we like this guy. So it\u2019ll be interesting to see what number he comes up with, because they, they really value him.<\/p>\n

(Jet) Greaves too. Greaves too. One other, two big arb cases.\u201d<\/p>\n
