Okay here's the count
Players that requested a trade from the Blue Jackets 2011-12 season:
Jeff Carter
Rick Nash
that looks like there are 2 players listed to me
I think true generalization would look more like "Columbus has been a mess since the beginning of their history, they will go on to be a mess forever after" an opinion which I have repudiated earlier

It's probably a much more interesting question to ask this - does the request of a trade by two bonafide star players in such a short time span have any precedent in NHL history? I would be tempted to guess that such a thing would never plausibly happen in a pre-salary cap era
