After five years with the Columbus Blue Jackets, Elvis Merzlikins has finally requested a trade, just days after reports emerged that both parties were open to moving on from him.

Elvis Merzlikins officially demands trade after big time win

Just moments after beating the Vancouver Canucks, Merzlikins made it official and revealed his trade request from the Blue Jackets.
"I'm mad and I am pulling the monster out of me" -Elvis Merzlikins after the shootout win vs. the Canucks...
