Blue Jackets to trade Leclaire to Ottawa for Vermette?
GM Scott Howson was in Ottawa on Saturday to scout the Maple Leafs — Senators game. This is noteworthy, because typically GMs swoop in for one last look at a player before a deal gets done.
And the player Howson was looking at, sources say, is Antoine Vermette.
The rumors percolating at this hour have the Blue Jackets sending goaltender Pascal Leclaire to the Sens for Vermette, a top six forward with great speed and offensive touch. On the surface, Ottawa would seem crazy to part with a player like Vermette, but they need a goaltender in the worst way.
