The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun dropped a piece of info today that will have Columbus Blue Jackets fans split. 

Per LeBrun, "They would absolutely enter the Mitch Marner sweepstakes if invited to do so. But unless something changes, I don’t think the Marner camp has Columbus on its list of preferred destinations. At least not so far."

It's not really a surprise that Marner may not be interested in Columbus, but at the same time, CBJ fans are looking for anything that is positive in terms of free agents wanting to come to Columbus. Yes, Johnny Gaudreau and his best friend Sean Monahan came to Columbus, but Marner doesn't seem like a small market player if we're being honest.  

Mitch Marner may not have Columbus on his wish list, but that won't stop Don Waddell from giving him a huge offer to lure the winger to Nationwide Blvd. 

Silly season is here.
