Per TheFourthPeriod.Com, Elvis Merzlikins Is Available For A Trade

Per TheFourthPeriod.com, Goalie Elvis Merzlikins is available. The article also says "In addition to Gibson, goalies Jacob Markstrom, Juuse Saros, Linus Ullmark, Filip Gustavsson, Elvis Merzlikins and Joonas Korpisalo are all available for trade."

Now while this doesn't exactly come as a surprise to people who follow the Columbus Blue Jackets, this report does come after new GM Don Waddell said in a radio interview on May 29th, that he tried to trade for Elvis four years ago. 

After listening to what Waddell said, many believed that he would hold on to Elvis. He went on to say "We know what happened in his personal life, we also know he has three years left on his contract. I said It's my job to make sure we put every resource we can, to see if we can get Elvis back where he was. If we don't do that as an organization, we fail, I fail. Now, it may not work, it may work, but that's got to be our number one goal to put all the time and energy into that."

Elvis has three years left on his contract at $5.4 million, so trading him won't be easy. Don Waddell will need to work some magic to make this trade happen.
