He\u2019ll likely command a huge salary, but there are some teams that are willing to pay the price for the former Vezina Trophy winner.<\/p>\n<p>Columbus was hoping to ride Bobrovsky to their first-ever playoff series victory but having him there may make things awkward the next few months. The Blue Jackets have some hard choices that they have to make.<\/p>\n<h3>Wayne Simmonds<\/h3>\n<p><em>Rumour: Many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsnet.ca\/hockey\/nhl\/seven-potential-trade-destinations-philadelphias-wayne-simmonds\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sites such as Sportsnet<\/a> and analysts like Pierre LeBrun think that the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/flyers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Philadelphia Flyers<\/a> will deal Simmonds before the deadline.
