NHL rumors: Pierre LeBrun hasn’t ruled out potential Zach Werenski trade request

Pierre LeBrun reports that Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Zach Werenski has not requested a trade, despite speculation linking him to Detroit Red Wings center Dylan Larkin's recent trade request. LeBrun notes there has been no communication from the Blue Jackets indicating Werenski wants to be traded, though he acknowledges the possibility could arise before summer's end. Werenski has two years remaining on his contract and would represent a significant organizational loss if he were to request a trade.
