The Columbus Blue Jackets announced yesterday that they had relieved longtime GM Jarmo Kekalainen of his duties.
Now with their first GM vacancy in over a decade, the Blue Jackets are looking around the NHL for Kekalainen's replacement.
Reports have surfaced that the Blue Jackets are looking to bring in Jeff Gorton from the Montreal Canadiens.
However, it seems like Gorton is committed to the Canadiens as the following report has emerged.
We will now wait and see who the Blue Jackets bring in as they have a young core and could be contending sooner rather than later.
