“And the thing about the Kraken is that they don’t have to do it. The fact that they did it in this particular case says that this doesn’t happen to everyone. This happens to someone we consider special.”

Are the Columbus Blues moving some of their pending UFAs, but are they back in the Playoff Race?

They have some pending UFAs that they may have thought they would move at the deadline, and they may be keeping them now.
