Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch: “Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson yesterday refuted weekend reports out of Canada that contract negotiations were not going very well with restricted free agent goaltender Pascal Leclaire.”

Here is the full article courtesy of the Columbus Dispatch.

I really don’t see these two sides not coming to some sort of agreement. Leclaire was terrific last season and really flourished under coach Hitchcock’s defense-first system. Scott Howson is a sharp GM and I’m sure the sides will end up agreeing on a three or four year contract.
