Hitchcock Still Under Contract With Columbus

from Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch,
The best chance for Hitchcock to be hired as a coach now - even he admits this - is during the 2010-11 season, when, inevitably, an NHL team fires its coach after a slow start.
But the Blue Jackets won’t wait that long. Priest and Howson have had general discussions about Hitchcock in recent weeks, and they plan to begin hammering out details of his new job when Hitchcock returns to Columbus late this week.
It’s a matter they want settled before training camp opens Sept. 17, Howson said. Many are treading lightly on the subject.
“As long as he’s under contract with us, we’ll find something for him to do that brings value to our organization,” Priest said.
But nobody’s quite sure what that will entail, though there are at least a handful of possibilities.
“I’ll wait for Mike or Scott to come tell me,” Hitchcock said. “I have my own plans of what I would like to do, but I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes or be in the way.”

I wonder how much he’s under contract for? What’s his cap hit? Blue Jackets are a budget-team meaning they only have x amount of dollars to spend. I’d like to know what upgrades the jackets can’t get because they decided to fire hitcheroo.
