For the last two seasons it seems like Cam Atkinson has been in more rumours than any Blue Jackets player. He's not a player the Jackets necessarily have to move however. He's a good player with a good contract. His cap hit is only $3.5M, and he is signed through 2017-18 per General Fanager . At 26 years old he's not someone who will be declining any time soon. The thing though is that the Jackets strength, particularly in terms of prospects is on the wing. If the right deal comes along I could see Atkinson being dealt.Is a dynamic top six winger who can put the puck in the net. His 19 goals on the year are tied for 13th among all RW’s.Isn’t a great defensive player, allowing shot attempts at a below average rate. Is a smaller player who hasn’t been through the playoff grind before.Cam has some term on his deal but unlike with Tyutin and Hartnell this is very positive and increases Cam’s value. A team doesn’t have to worry about him leaving as a free agent after the season.To find comparable players I looked for younger wingers who had some term left on their deals. At the high end the most comparable players to Atkinson are; David Perron who went from Edmonton to Pittsburgh for Rob Klinkhammer and a 1st, and Evander Kane who among other things was traded from Winnipeg to Buffalo for a 1st and two prospects. On the lower end of things we have Jiri Tlusty who went from Carolina to Winnipeg for a 3rd and a conditional 6th, and Matt Moulson who went from Buffalo to Minnesota for two 2nds.If the Jackets were motivated to move Cam I think they could easily get two seconds for him. As I alluded to at the beginning I only think Cam is going to be dealt if the deal is too good to pass up. The only way I think Cam is traded is if a first round pick is coming back the other way.Last season the Boston Bruins were rumoured to have interest in Cam. They don’t seem to be a great fit anymore as they added two wingers, Matt Beleskey and Jimmy Hayes in the off-season. They could though look at Cam as a potential Loui Erikson replacement.This season the New York Rangers have been the team rumoured to be interested. The have a need for Cam as according to Daily Faceoff their second line right winger is Jesper Fast. The issue with the Rangers is that they may not want to give up another first round pick. They haven’t selected in the first round since 2012 and have already dealt away their first in either 2016 or 2017 in the Keith Yandle trade (The Rangers decide what pick they want to send).With that being said the Rangers window to win is right now. They have a need and have shown a willingness to trade their first round pick.: Cam is traded to the Rangers for a 2017 first round pick.You can follow me on Twitter @PaulBerthelot
