from Mike Zeisberger of NHL.com,
Let's start out with Bobrovsky and Panarin. The Blue Jackets have wanted to discuss extensions with both, but each has decided against it. Where do you go from here? Do you try to trade them or finish out the season?
They're both terrific players. They're both terrific guys. And they're Columbus Blue Jackets until they're not. We'll see what comes. We'll see how it plays out. And then when it comes time to make decisions that are really important for us, we'll make decisions. They've both been playing very well for us right now. They've both been great parts of our club for a long time. [Bobrovsky], in particular, for a long time. Artemi, since he's been here, he's been such a terrific player on that line with Cam Atkinson and Pierre-Luc Dubois. I hope they're Blue Jackets for a long time. Ultimately, that might not be our call. You'll just have to wait and see like the rest of us.
