Columbus needs the cap flexibility that Nyquist brings being a pending UFA so they can afford to keep players like chinakov, Gavrikov, Peeke and Texier who all need new contracts next offseason as well all of them will get paid more, some significantly more.
I’d also say they probably want the roster spot in the top 6 so players like Johnson, Marchenko, Chinakov can get some time playing that high in the line up.
Love Atkinson, and if he was a 1 year deal I’d 100% make that trade, but not with him being 3 years left. Columbus will need the cap room and the roster spot.
