Early this summer, the Blue Jackets asked veteran forward Scott Hartnell to waive the no-movement clause in his contract. He agreed and supplied general manager Jarmo Kekalainen with a "decent-sized list," according to Sportsnet.

But after two months of waiting and wondering, Hartnell called Kekalainen back and told him he was retracting his list and standing firm on his no-move clause.

"I put it to rest with Jarmo," Hartnell said. "I said I'm coming back and I'm not having this over my head during training camp and the first month of the season. I have a no-move for a reason, and it's there for me now.
