Correct me if I'm wrong but in previous CBA's you couldn't trade long term injured players.
I'm wondering if this clears the way for the Blue Jackets to buy him out in the off season, which makes all kinds of sense. They would save money by being able to pay out over a longer term, and get a reduced cap hit.

That is always a possibility, but it sounds to me like they think he can be a better player. Overpaid for sure, but they could get something out of him. I don't think he is a Heatly or Seto just yet.

O.K. there has been a lot of talk on whether or not MacTavish has actually done a good job for us, most fans on this board are very basic in their analysis and I feel would change their opinion entirely if the team was successful.
