Woohoo!!
The Columbus Ble Jackets are VERY happy to announce the signing of a couple of RFA's.
Nick Foligno - 4 years @ 1.56 million/season
We see Nick as a future top-6 power forward and are VERY excited to add him into the fold here in Columbus.
Tom Sestito - 2 years @ .75 million/season
We hope Tom can become an enforcer-type for us and we like his aggressiveness.
The have another trade to announce.
To Jesse Joensuu
To Mike Komisarek
Mike waived his NMC because he felt this team Would give him a better chance to play every day and he could also be a veteran presence on a very young team. He was also very excited to be able to go play near his hometown.
We in Toronto did this because we felt it was unfair to both us and Komi to have him make $4.5 mil and yet sit in the press box each night.
Columbus would like to announce another deal with the New York Rangers
Mikkel Boedker
Artem Anisimov + Jesper Fast
We feel Artem can be a solid 3rd line center for us and his defensive abilities will only get better as he gets older. He has 55-60 point potential with a solid 2-way game.
Jesper Fast is a relatively unknown prospect playing in the Swedish Elite League, however we feel he will be a top-6 forward in the NHL in the same mold as Loui Eriksson. His speed, elusiveness and 2-way play will make him a treat to watch when he comes over.
will trade Matt Garon for a prospect/pick and waive Ben Lovejoy

^ you do not have Michael Del Zotto-
Reason:
You signed both Jamie Benn first and then Michael Del Zotto to deals over 5 mil. You lost your compensation picks from the Benn signing therefore you had no compensation picks to give me. That would, I believe make the signing null and void.
