One stat that stuck out: of the five players who have scored at least 100 points after being drafted by the Blue Jackets, none of those players were drafted after the first round.<br /><br />That isn't to say Howson didn't do some good things, as he traded an injury prone goalie in Pascal Leclaire for Antoine Vermette and traded for potential cornerstone defenseman in Jack Johnson for Jeff Carter. However, the negatives far outweighed the positives, and that is reflected in the team's record in his tenure as general manager.Peter Santellanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296710730176114356noreply@blogger.com
