Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell provided an encouraging update on the status of contract extension negotiations with impending RFA Adam Fantilli.
Waddell sat down with James Murphy of RG Media for an interview published on August 28. In the conversation, Waddell addressed Fantilli’s contract situation. He stated:
“We're going to talk here in the next couple of weeks. Pat Brisson is his agent, and we're going to do some face-to-face meetings. When these kinds of players are up and these kinds of deals need to be made, I think you need to be in front of each other.
