Foote to Jackets
Foote reportedly signs three-year, $13.5M deal
Associated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Adam Foote, a defensive cornerstone of two Stanley Cup championship teams in Colorado, signed a three-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. (Story.)
Bummer.
I guess I was expecting this, given the economics of the new NHL, but it’s still hard to imagine the Avs without Footer. One thing’s for sure – the Jackets’ defensive zone just became a much less pleasant place for people wearing the wrong color sweater.
If Colorado doesn’t resign Foppa – and who knows what will happen on that front – this will leave Sakic as the last remaining player who came over from Quebec when the franchise moved ten years ago….
Best of luck to Foote. I have no idea how we’ll replace you.


Yeah, Yeah, Yeah. You lost Forsberg too. You also signed the last member of ny beloved Canadiens to hoist the Cup. Treat Patrice with love and he’ll help out! Oh, yeah. Let’s not forget the aquisition of Pierre Turgeon. Montreal is starting to move to Colorado! (crying in my coffee cup)

Many thanks. As bad as things turned out up here, I did really value the chance to teach in the IMC program. If everything had been as great as that was…..
