Foote returning to Colorado
According to TSN, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche are discussing a trade involving pending unrestricted free agent defenseman Adam Foote.
The Blue Jackets and Foote have not been able to come to an agreement on a contract extension, and word is that the blueliner wants to be moved.
It’s unclear if Colorado is the only team talking trade with the Blue Jackets for the former Avalanche defender. Foote, who has a no-trade clause in his contract, has ultimate control over where he ends up.
Update:1:02PM Sportsnet is now reporting the deal is done, but there’s still no mention of what’s headed back to Columbus.
More info to come.

As a Wings fan, I don’t like this move at all.
The Avs are much better with Foote, Forsberg, and Salei. The Sharks, too, with the addition of Campbell.
C’mon Holland, do SOMETHING!!!
