More : | | | | | The top priority for the this offseason has to be coming up with a new contract for restricted free-agent goaltender .Bobrovsky, one of the NHL's finalists for the Vezina Trophy, is a restricted free agent, and general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has already said the team is willing to match any offer sheet a team might offer him.But that doesn't take into account the po sibility of a KHL team throwing a huge offer at Bobrovsky. It's already known that SKA St. Petersburg . On Friday, Bobrovsky told Ru sian publication Sport-Expre s that he is currently talking to both Columbus and SKA.Bobrovsky talks to Sport-Expre s, says "we are talking to both Columbus and SKA" Slava Malamud (@SlavaMalamud) Any time a Ru sian player has a contract up, there always seems to Riley Smith Jersey be the threat (or a rumor) of that player going to the KHL. It almost never happens, unle s it's a player at the very end of his career (or Alexander Radulov).It still seems like a negotiating tactic on the part of Bobrovsky to get as much leverage with the Blue Jackets as he can in contract talks. It would still be a pretty huge shock if he's not in the crease for Columbus when the 2013-14 season begins.Bobrovsky was one of the NHL's bigget surprises in 2013 as he took over the No. 1 goalie job in Columbus and finished the season with a .932 save percentage, a mark that was good enough for second in the league, trailing only Ottawa's Craig Anderson. He was perhaps the biggest reason (maybe even the only reason) Columbus stayed in the playoff race as long as it did this season. Bryce Jarvis Jersey
