The Blue Jackets don't appear likely right now to make a contract offer to Vinny Prospal. "Are we going to extend him an offer? We're not sure we want to do that yet," Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said. "We want to give him the proper respect if we do and he may not even want to do it. We always like to keep our options open, but I'd say right now we'll stand pat unless we make an offer to Vinny." According to Capgeek.com, the Blue Jackets have a little more than $2 million in cap space. Prospal, who had 30 points last season, made $2.5 million.
