Erasing Carter

The Jeff Carter trade of last month has had ramifications that reach even today.  Tonight, Carter's new team (Los Angeles Kings) will meet Carter's previous team (Columbus Blue Jackets).  Talk about awkward: so to alleviate some of that awkwardness, the Blue Jackets have a promotion where if you have a Jeff Carter Blue Jackets jersey and are attending tonight's game (or attended, since the promotion ended after the first period), you can take the jersey to the team store in Nationwide Arena and get a new Jack Johnson (the guy Carter was traded for) nameplate to go over the number 7, as Johnson currently wears numver 7 for the Blue Jackets. If the Blue Jackets are to be known for something positive, this is it, as it saves potential bonfire permit issues that happened with another former Ohio athlete.
