CBJ has a surplus of wingers but Voracek is their most valuable one outside of Laine. Don't think Jake is untouchable but I think they'll keep him around for next year.
There's another veteran LW that the Jackets have who could get moved to make space for the young guys, and that's Gus Nyquist. He'll be a UFA after next season so Columbus could retain if needed. He had some rust early this year (since he missed the entirety of 2020) but he's been awesome for the last few months. Cheaper contract than Jake, can kill penalties, and is still productive (and younger).
That said, the Jackets don't really have any need for wings so they wouldn't be interested in Drouin. Petry would be a solid fit here, though. Not sure who adds but that seems like a good framework for a deal.
