Columbus is battling to many injuries, I don't think there's any way we catch them. Buffalo and Ottawa should definitely pass us in the standings by the end of Feb but that's just wishful thinking until it happens.
Can't trade guys away yet unfortunately, just don't have enough bodies to fill a line up the way the injuries are going. Maybe they take some bad contracts to fill out the line up but they should be getting paid to take those contracts and those contracts can't be past next year.
Ultimately they need to clear roster spots for next season. Beck, Mesar, Hutson and Reinbacher should all be NA next year. Hutson and Reinbacher likely in the NHL, Beck and Mesar in the AHL.
