Foote goes to the Avs for - I'm not sure yet. but he's gone.

Columbus gets a conditional first-round draft pick and a fourth-round selection.
Foote was with Colorado/Quebec for 13 years.

wow and they traded fedorov to the Caps for prospect Theo Ruth, who was drafted 46th overall by the Caps last year.

Fedorov for Ruth... clearly they're giving up on the here and now and building for the future. This Ruth kid any good?

Wow Howson has conceded the year??! Foote for a conditional pick and Fedorov for a prospect!???? That sounds like something McClaine would have done in years past!! Maybe he's got something in the works and really needed to free up cap space! He better hurry time's running out and there's going to be some po'd fans in the capital city for sure!

yeah future building.

Word is he is a talented rearguard prospect who was a second-round pick in last year's draft. He's at Notre Dame right now - college hockey - but he has the goods to be an above-average all-round NHL defenseman a few years from now.

Yeah, sure looks like he's conceded the season to me. I guess only time will tell what he's got up his sleeve.
