Blue Jackets will be having an important press conference later this evening about the acquistion of a star centreman and the departure of 2 prospects and a high pick.
A deal has fallen through, 10th overall is still available. Looking for a 2nd line center or a top 4 defenseman.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are excited to announce a blockbuster trade:
To: Jakub Voracek + Derrick Brassard + 8th overall + Nikita Filatov
To: Jason Spezza + Chris Neil + Winnipeg's second round pick +. Milan Michalek
Columbus is pleased to acquire a centreman of Spezza's calibre which should lead to us seeing the post-season in the near future.

Wings Deal Hudler, Acquire Dorsett
Dorsett was a former 6th Round Draft selection by the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The Red Wings announced their second trade of the offseason today. Detroit shipped out career Red Wing Jiri Hudler, and in exchange acquired young gritty forward Derek Dorsett from Columbus. "While Jiri was a good player for us, we believe Dorsett is going to bring a new style of play to Hocketown" said Wings GM Ryan Getzlaf, "He's a tough guy signed to a nice contract, I believe he's going to be a valuable member of our team". Getzlaf also acknowledged Hudler's contributions to the Red Wings and wished him all the best in Columbus.
I find it interesting that Spezza waived his NTC to go to a Columbus team that finished 8th. I'd like to know how Spezza broke that one to his Ottawa wife that he recently married.
Actually they finished with the 8th overall pick, even worse. Don't know why he waived
I don't know if that is a sideways comment at me... but I had nothing to do with the Spezza deal

Not quite bellyaching, but I'd say I'm slightly confused.
EDIT: Oh, and Chris Neil's Partial NTC. http://www.snyrangersblog.com/2011/02/26/read-ottawa-shouldnt-trade-chris-neil/
I didn't waive it, so I'm guessing the other two guys did. Hope so, at least.
The other two waived. Backlund waived when I asked and Sins got Dhabs.
No, it's not. I'm not shooting daggers at anyone. I'd like to know the thought process behind this, because I feel like there's two situations that are very similar, and have had two different outcomes.
This is all I'm going to say to the matter.
Yeah, I don't see why he would waive to go to a team about as bad as the previous team. Maybe because of Nash? But that can't be the only factor
Team's improving in every direction. Plus dishing to Nash was apparently one of the biggest reasons and tie in the fact they traded Alfie too?
