Knew it was only a matter of time for this clock to finally tick off, but seems the last effort for Howson to remain as a GM of the Jackets is done with and they are moving on.
The new GM is going to have some fun times this year, as the Jackets will have three first round picks. Their own, the New York Rangers first round pick from the Nash deal and the LA Kings pick from the Jeff Carter deal. Probably means they will end up with a top 5, a 20-30 pick, and depending on when LA decides to finally show up again, their third pick could be anywhere.
Jackets got screwed on Yakupov, and I really thought the franchise could have used him simply because he would be a huge draw to the team and bring the fans out.
Lots of rumours that Jarmo Kekalainen will be the next GM. He was an asst. GM with the Blues and currently is the GM of the Finnish Elite league team Jokerit.
