Overview
- Team officials told RG Media they have stopped soliciting offers and will begin talks with Charlie Coyle, Mason Marchment, and Boone Jenner before the Olympic break ends.
- A league source said the trio is off the market going into the trade deadline regardless of whether extensions are signed during the break.
- GM Don Waddell said the club will touch base with impending free agents over the break and will try to get deals done if both sides want to stay together.
- Columbus has won 11 of 12 to climb back into the playoff race and sits at 29-20-7, four points out of a spot in the Eastern Conference.
- Coyle has 15 goals and 42 points in 56 games, Marchment has nine goals and four assists in 14 appearances since joining, and analysts caution that re-signing all three long term may be unrealistic given age and risk.
