Report: Blue Jackets among 10 teams with serious interest in Nick Bonino

After two successful seasons with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Nick Bonino may be moving on.

The two-way center will become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 and is reportedly drawing serious interest from at least 10 teams, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The Blue Jackets are among those teams, adds Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Post-Dispatch.

Bonino is coming off a three-year deal that carried a salary cap hit of $1.9 million. He was acquired from the Vancouver Canucks in a 2015 trade that saw Brandon Sutter go the other way, and went on to win a pair of Stanley Cups with the Penguins.

Bonino recorded seven points in 21 postseason games this year, and was forced to the sidelines during the Cup Final due to a broken tibia.
