Columbus sent captain Adam Foote back to the Colorado Avalanche, the only team reportedly that Foote would consider a trade to, the Blue Jackets received a conditional draft pick for 2008 or 2009 and a fourth round pick in 2009

The Blue Jackets then moved Sergei Federov, sending the mysterious Russian to the Washington Capitals, where he’ll join up with a team heavily stocked with Europeans and Russians. Heading for Columbus is Theo Ruth a highly touted young defenceman.

Vancouver and Washington exchanged a couple of matts on Tuesday, as the Canucks sent Matt Cooke, a strong character player for Vancouver to the renovating Capitals. Heading to Vancouver is Matt Pettinger a left winger that the Canucks are hoping adds some intensity in the corners.
