Blue Jackets Fans Have Questions

from a Q & A fan chat at the Columbus Dispatch,
Aaron, you’ve been very clear that the Jackets will not enter the Spezza or Lecavilier sweepstakes. Give us a few names that we Blue Jackets fans may not have considered as possible acquisitions.
[Aaron Portzline] This is all guesswork, of course. But it’s players who fit the following criteria: a young player with upside, and a reasonable contract that extends beyond this season, or a veteran player who’s contract is up at the end of the season. Again, Antoine Vermette is a name that keeps popping up, but the asking price—Kris Russell and a pick—is way too high. The Leafs want too much for Nik Atropov, too. Well, more than the Blue Jackets are willing to part with. This is a strange science. All the talk of the last few weeks, and Jason Williams’ name never came up. I make calls around the league all the time. You do what you can do.
