Peca going from Blueshirts to Blue Jackets?
Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports that unrestricted free agent forward Michael Peca will not become a New York Ranger, and instead will sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets.
“We had a deal in place with the Rangers for almost three weeks now,” Peca said. “It just doesn’t seem like the commitment has been there from the general manager (Glen Sather) to get it done.”
“But ever since we started talking with Columbus (Friday), (Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson) has been very straightforward and very interested in getting something done. And so right now, that’s where our focus is, getting something done with Columbus.”
“I moved on (from the Rangers). And now I’m getting pretty excited to play for coach Ken Hitchcock and the Blue Jackets.”
Peca’s agent, Don Meehan, tells John Dellapina of the New York Daily News that he is close to completing negotiations on a one-year contract for Peca “within a couple of hours.” While Meehan did not name the team, expectations are it will be indeed the Blue Jackets.
