(Columbus, Ohio)
The day has finally arrived, Radim Vrbata has been shipped out of town. As the walls fall down in Columbus the organization continues to stock the cupboard with youth and picks. Columbus dealt Vrbata to the Dallas stars in exchange for Josh Bailey and a 2nd round pick. Bailey is still very young and the Jackets hope he will emerge to be the force that he was expected to be when he was drafted. It was sad for many players to say goodbye to Vrbata, who was nothing but a team player his entire tenure here, but inevitably had to go because he was not in the long term plans. Don't expect this to be the last of the wheeling and dealing in Columbus...
