Columbus Blue Jackets Goaltender Elvis Merzlikins Officially Requests Trade

Elvis Merzlikins made a major announcement during his post-game interview revealing that he has requested a trade out of Columbus.
"I'm mad and I am pulling the monster out of me" -Elvis Merzlikins after the shootout win vs. the Canucks...

Elvis also said moments later that he requested a trade 😳
Drafted in 2014, he's been a solid contributor, but frustrations have led to this decision.
With a .906 save percentage and a 3.15 GAA in 174 games, he could be a cost-effective option for teams in need.
Stay tuned.
