08:38 AM ET 03.16 | On March 1, Columbus Mayor Michael B. Coleman penned a letter to NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. It was a kindly worded, gentleman's way of reminding Bettman and the league that Columbus and the Blue Jackets are waiting for an All-Star Game to replace the one that was canceled by the lockout. On Thursday, Bettman was asked to update the All-Star sitution. He said: "I got a very nice letter from the mayor of Columbus, which I've responded to. Because we don't know about Olympic participation (in 2014) yet, and as I think you all know in an Olympic year we don't have an All-Star game, we've got a whole host of factors that we have to look at. We know we owe Columbus a game, but we're not yet in a position to say what the timeline is. My hope is in the next couple of months, as our long-term calendar becomes a bit clearer, we'll be able to address that more specifically."

Translation : It all depends upon the next lockout!

Problem is, if Gery waits too long, the Mayoral elections in Columbus will be over. Too late then!
(I'm not cynical, am I?)
