Columbus Blue Jackets reporter Aaron Portzline has just reported some new news surrounding a Patrik Laine transaction.
Portzline is one of the most accurate and trusted insiders in the NHL and he just announced a big development in Laine being traded.
Portzline reported that the Columbus Blue Jackets are no where near completing a trade with their sniper.
"It could obviously change with a phone call, but it seems like Columbus isn't getting much traction in the trade talks involving Patrik Laine.
It's a quiet time in the NHL, for sure."

There are reports that Patrik Laine will still be traded before the start of the season, but his trade value will not be as high.
A sniper with his caliber, if his value does fall, Don Sweeney should definitely make some calls to see what he could make happen.
