He's also played in less than half their games. He's only 25, so he's still technically a prospect, even if he's a long-shot, marginal one.
Blues/Jackets deal going down tonight?

Well, if any GM was going to take on Tyutin's contract without sending one back, it's Garth Snow.

I'm not buying it yet either... It looks like a second deal is in the works but I'd be shocked if it is as speculated.

Yeah. Considering the extent of the failure in Columbus so far, I'd be ridding myself of as many contract that belong to non-core players as possible. Tyutin would have been very high on my list of players to move, though, not necessarily in this type of deal.
Saint Nik said:
A contract that they agreed to just 3 months ago? And it's not like he's been terrible this season. I can't see the Blue Jackets actively looking to dump him.

Nabokov did not dress tonight which I guess is fueling speculation that he's at least part of the second deal... If there is one.

That's sort of a regular occurrence though for the Islanders as they have 3 goalies who rotate in and out.

Well, no point staying up any longer to see a mid-sized (at best) Jackets deal happens... 'night folks.
Saint Nik said:
Ah sorry, read that part wrong. If Columbus was strictly looking to dump contracts and tear things down, then yeah I could see why they would think this makes sense. But even still I don't think the value is right for them. $4.5mil isn't a terrible rate for a top-4 defenceman in the prime of his career.
The problem is something makes me think that the Blue Jackets aren't interested in tearing things down completely. And in that case I think Tyutin is a more valuable player than Nabokov right now and in the future.
I can sleep easy now.

Just interesting to see how these rumours could start.

I didn't believe it upon learning of the rumours of a Tyutin/Nabby trade.
If the Islanders record is any indication, it doesn't seem like neither a Nabokov nor a Montoya and definitely not a DiPietro can salvage the team alone. Besides, if I were the Isles, I'd want a better deal from trading Nabokov.
