Although it's purely speculation at this point, it wouldn't be shocking if Antti Niemi ended up being traded to the Columbus Blue Jackets this summer. Columbus is interested in shaking things up in goal after enduring three rough years with Steve Mason between the pipes. On the other end, the San Jose Sharks have a fair amount of goaltending depth and an interest in Rick Nash. Niemi would be a significant upgrade for the Blue Jackets, but his fantasy value would also probably take a hit if such a trade took place. Such a move might make a certain amount of sense for both sides, but of course that doesn't mean it's going to happen.
