| Columbus Blue Jackets General Manager Scott Howson fired
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 12 () -- The struggling Columbus Blue Jackets Tuesday fired Scott Howson, the team's executive vice president and general manager.Howson -- one of only two GMs in Blue Jackets history -- had held the job since June 2007,[url=http://www.celinehandbagss.com/]celine handbags[/url], compiling a 173-190-59 record with one playoff appearance in 2009. Last season, however, Columbus had the worst record in the NHL with 65 points and was off to a 4-7-2 start in the lockout-shortened 2012-13 campaign.He traded the team's lone superstar, Rick Nash, last summer in a deal that earned much criticism from fans. "Scott Howson is a caring man who gave everything he had to the Columbus Blue Jackets over the past six years," Blue Jackets President John Davidson said. "This was a difficult decision, but one that I thought was in the best interest of moving our hockey club forward." |
