from Rob Oiler of the Columbus Dispatch,

“This takes attention off Rick,” Howson said. “R.J. (Umberger) did that to an extent ... but now if we play (Nash and Carter) together, they won’t be able to key on just Rick.”

Two All-Stars. Granted, the Blue Jackets gave up a lot, and still need more pieces before they can be considered an automatic playoff team, but Carter gets them much closer now.

Credit Howson for making a splash, by diving into the deep end and still landing on his feet.
