Aaron Portsline

Frankly, they need his playmaking in the top six.

They need him to be a player just like Voronkov.

I will say it like Marchenko, not untouchable.

Everyone's available when you're in this situation and you're trying to go big game hunting, but he's not a guy that they desire to trade.

He, like so many others, went through the floorboards, yeah, the last two and a half weeks of the season.

He looked lost.

I'm led to believe he looked as lost as he was in Vancouver this year.

I didn't see all of that, of course.

So many players were completely lost here.

Just look at their schedule and results.

They were as high as second in the Metro, fifth in the East, and then just absolute free fall the final two weeks of the season to miss the playoffs for the sixth straight year.

He was one of them.

Certainly not alone.

There's about six, seven guys that fall into that category.

I'm sorry, on who?

Oh, yeah, for sure.

So the Blue Jackets are looking for a top six slash top nine improvement.

DeBrusque, I think, is a player who's going to move.

The Blue Jackets make a ton of sense for him.

I think he would come to Columbus.
