Korpisalo will most likely be moved, but not until the trade deadline as the Jackets will need him in the event Elvis were to be injured. After the trade deadline, they can move Korpisalo and bring up Tarasov. Two other candidates for trade are Max Domi and Patrik Laine. Domi will probably be moved for a high draft pick at the least. Laine's future hinges on the line he plays on. Until yesterday, the Voracek-Jenner-Laine line had produced only one 5 on 5 goal in seven games. Yesterday they had two. If Voracek's presence on that line can't bring up Laine's goal totals then the Jackets are further ahead to move him. If those three players can bring good draft pick compensation then the Jackets are in great shape. Remember, the Jackets own Chicago's first pick. Yes, it's protected, but only if it's in the top two. Best case scenario: Jackets win the draft lottery and Chicago winds up with the number three overall pick. Hey, I can wish can't I? One more thing, Jack Roslovic has very quietly had a great week in the faceoff circle, winning 17 of 20 draws.
