The Columbus Dispatch reports a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins and Columbus Blue Jackets is very close. The Blue Jackets would receive the rights to Penguins forward Ryan Malone. The Jackets have a deal to offer Malone and its said to be between 4.5 and 5.5 million dollars and for about 4 years. Malone, who is a UFA this year had a career year finishing with 27 goals. The Penguins will probably not be able to resign him due to the fact that they have to many players to resign this off season and not enough money to create a bit of wiggle room under the cap.
Other Teams reportedly interested in Malone are the Minnesota Wild and the Vancouver Canucks.
