The buzz around Patrik Laine heating up as Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell comes out with a bold statement.

"There really aren't a lot of free agents out there," the executive told The Athletic's Aaron Portzline. "If (teams) have the (salary) cap (space) today, they'll probably still have it tomorrow. I know there are teams that are still interested."

During an interview, the GM made it clear that teams are still very interesting in acquiring forward Patrik Laine.
Although, theres a massive difficulty with the situation. Patrik Laine remains in the NHL's player assistance program, therefore, direct communication with the Blue Jackets, or any other team for that matter is strictly prohibited.
Although no timeline has been released regarding Laine's completion of the program, GM Don Waddell confirms that teams are very much still interested.
It will be interesting to see which team emerges as the front runners for Patrik Laine upon Laine's highly anticipated return to play.
