the 2011-12 campaign on the sidelines with a concussion.

Derek Dorsett signed

The Columbus Blue Jackets announced
Wednesday that the club signed forward Derek Dorsett to a three-year
contract. Terms of the contract were not released. Dorsett, who will enter
his fifth season, . Dorsett had
12 goals and eight assists and 235 penalty minutes — leading the league
in that category in 77 games ,,can't believe Howson did something right,,lol

Todd Richards

The Blue Jackets have decided coach Todd Richards is a keeper. Richards,
who took over when Scott Arniel was fired on Jan. 9, has had the
“interim” tag lifted from his title, signing a two-year contract. Its not going to help unless they get rid of Howson.

Fire Howson and Priest

Totally agree with this article!!! delivered a petition to the Blue Jackets calling for the immediate dismissal of both team president Mike Priest and GM Scott Howson, backed by ~1,000 signatures from fans and season ticket holders.
I don't mean to dismiss their accomplishment - getting 1,000 people to agree on anything is generally a pretty major achievement - but what I do question is how much the "nuclear option" group truly speaks for the fanbase, and if they're really speaking the language the team understands.

Howson

Finally acknowledging that Steve Mason's been a liability, yet being
reminded that good things happen for others when the Blue Jackets jettison
talent — 17 former Jackets were in the playoffs, and 10 are still
playing, including four critical players The play off teams would like to tank Howson for getting rid of our good players to them Howson is a joke..
