Columbus Blue Jackets star forward Pierre-Luc-Dubois apparently wants out of Buckeye city and as reported here, Sweeney has expressed interest in the third overall pick of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. So how is Blue Jackets Head Coach John Tortorella handling his most recent star player that wants out? The same way he handled Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky two seasons ago. (TSN)
