The R.J. Umberger contract might be just the first bit of action this week. Free-agent center Michael Peca has agreed to terms on a two-year contract, The Dispatch has learned. A deal could be announced as early as today. Also, Howson had an afternoon phone chat with agent Don Meehan, who represents Peca as well as two other players currently on the Blue Jackets' front burner -- restricted free agent goaltender Pascal Leclaire and 18-year-old center/left winger Nikita Filatov, the Jackets' No. 6 overall pick in June.

I'm surprised that nobody has signed Leclaire to an offer sheet. This guy played very well this season.

They missed out on Emery if they lose him as he just went to Russia. I think Leclaire is far more important than Peca and need to lock him up long term.

A two year deal is good, depending on how much!
