From Tom Reed of the Columbus Dispatch:
The Blue Jackets have invited defenseman Richard Matvichuk to training camp as a non-roster tryout. The team is still awaiting word on whether the 35-year-old Matvichuk will accept.
He most notably made two Stanley Cup finals appearances with Ken Hitchcock in Dallas in 1998-99 and 1999-2000, but has played in only one NHL regular-season game in the past two years.

Even if he accepts, I don’t see the veteran defenseman making the team.
Tough news for the prospect given how things were progressing since his last recall.
He isn't gonna play in any of the four remaining regular season games.
