from Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun, • You gotta give Columbus GM Scott Howson credit: He hasn’t stopped working the phones and trying to unload money instead of firing Arniel.

Here are the names of goalies I’m told are available: Jonathan Bernier (Los Angeles), Scott Clemmensen (Florida), Chris Mason (Winnipeg) and Anders Lindback (Nashville). Lindback is on the list because he’s not going to be kept w...

If the rumors are true and Jeff Carter truly has asked for a trade, the Avalanche should definitely jump in.
With a stretch in the last ten of 2-7-1 the Avs could use a jolt and Jeff Carter could truly be a kick in the pants to the Avs. He's a bigger center who has a great shot, can run a powerplay and will score. All he needs is someone to get him the puck.

Afternoon Line
After having watched him play another uninspired game for the Columbus Blue Jackets, I can’t help but think that a trade would be beneficial for both player and club. Let’s face it. The ship has sailed on Columbus. Their season is already over. With just under 20 games played, they are on pace for less than 15 wins for the season.
