from the Columbus Dispatch,
The NHL trade deadline is Feb. 27, almost two weeks earlier than in recent seasons.
With that date in mind, Blue Jackets president and general manager Doug MacLean had preliminary contract extension talks Wednesday with agents representing left winger Fredrik Modin and right winger Anson Carter.
Modin and Carter are set to be unrestricted free agents if they aren’t signed by July 1.
“We’re just starting the process,” MacLean said yesterday. “These are preliminary talks, just ballpark figures going back and forth. But I’m hopeful, very hopeful, we can get something done before the deadline.”
