Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman James Wisniewski's trade value has suffered another hit. This time, though, the trade obstacle was painful and involuntary.
Wisniewski took a shot off the left foot in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reports he may be injured.
#CBJ D James Wisniewski was significantly hobbled after tonight's game. Richards said he has a "sore foot" and will be evaluated in Cbus.

The high-priced Blue Jacket made his desire to stay in Columbus well known. He filled out his no-trade list with only the teams who have the cap flexibility necessary to take on his contract, minimizing the possibility of him being moved before the deadline.
