Horty was big for us during the 2011 Cup run and I thank him for that. That being said I'm glad we let him walk. He is WAY too inconsistent and injury prone to warrant throwing anything near what Columbus did at him contract wise.
Totally agree. I was always concerned on when he would get injured next, but I still liked him being on OUR team. I wish him well in Columbus and glad he got a nice contract.
I guess the type of surgery he's having has a good record of recovery, so I don't think this will be a long term issue with the Blue Jackets. Still tho, I think he got way overpaid and missing 4-6 weeks this upcoming season seems like a lot of time to miss on your first year which is sort of pivotal.
