Columbus Waiting On Richards

from the Columbus Dispatch,
If Richards joins the Blue Jackets, an NHL source said, Howson is more likely to do what it takes to sign Foote and make a full-on push for the playoffs, perhaps acquiring other players, as well.
If Richards does not choose Columbus, or is not traded, and if Foote won’t budge from his $4 million per season stance, it makes it more likely that Howson will trade Foote and possibly others.

Why Richards would want to move from Tampa Bay to Columbus is beyond me. But it looks like any deal for Sergei will have to wait for the Richards’ drama to play out.
Great. More stress.

within 3 years columbus will be a powerhouse.
However, giving Brule up could haunt Columbus. There were some that thought he was right behind Crosby, with regards to talent.

Howson is playing too safe. I say keep the draft picks, and tell Tampa Bay they can have any goalie besides Leclaire. If it takes Mason, they should do it. That and if the Blue Jackets do nothing, I would still keep Foote around. He is a positive influence, and if you trade him, you give up on the season
