Blue Jackets Hire John Tortorella And Canucks Get A 2nd Round Pick

After an 0-7-0 start to this season the Columbus Blue Jackets have fired coach Todd Richards and hired former Canucks coach John Tortorella. The deal is for this season plus 2 more seasons, so, since the Canucks canned Torts so early in his contract, they will be on the hook for some of his salary.

John Tortorella's contract with CBJ is for this season and two more, same as his remaining time on VAN contract. VAN paying "some of it."
