The Adam Foote Song: "Foote-loose"

The captain sets his contract demands at $4 million per season. The Blue Jackets start at $3 million per season but move up to $3.5 million, assuming the captain will meet them and a deal will be done. However, the captain does not budge and a stalemate ensues.

With the deadline hours away, the captain tells Blue Jacket management, according to the club's majority owner, that if he isn't signed to an extension -- at his $4 million demand -- he will refuse to play the rest of the season.

So a trade becomes the Blue Jackets only option, and the captain has but one destination for which he'll waive his no-trade clause -- his former club, the Colorado Avalanche.

So the deal goes down. The captain is traded back "home" and the Blue Jackets suffer an emotional and physical loss so devastating that any hope of the playoffs is lost.

In the hours after the trade, some backroom workings become known, making it seem as if the captain was planning this trade all along.

The plane that whisked the captain to Calgary, where the Avalanche played that night, was parked nearby one night before the trade deadline.

A box of equipment -- to the captain's specifications and with the Avalanche logo -- arrived in Calgary before the trade was struck. The Flames' equipment staff was asked to sew the captain's name on the back of an Avalanche sweater hours before the deal was reached.
