The seemingly ageless Prospal led the Blue Jackets in scoring in 2012-13, but with the club looking to get younger and play a more physical game, they let him walk as a free agent. A return to Columbus isn't out of the question if injuries open up a spot in the forward ranks, and wherever he ends up he'll likely work his way into some kind of fantasy value simply by force of will, but despite last year's numbers, the end of an exceptional career would seem to be on the horizon.
