Jet Greaves, Columbus Blue Jacket Avoid Arbitration. Agree to Multi-Year Deal
· Yahoo Sports
Some history was supposed to be made today for the Blue Jackets. For the first time in its history, they would've gone to an arbitration hearing with a player. It's really hard to imagine it, having had so many tough negotiations with players over the years. This doesn't have to be seen as a negative either. Just thought I'd remind you of that.
It's been announced that Jet Greaves and the Columbus Blue Jackets went to arbitration this morning. But it never happened, as the two sides were able to work out a deal at the last minute.

The CBJ and Jet Greaves settled on a 3-year, $5 million per year deal to keep the young goalie in Columbus for the next few years. This is very good news.
It was reported a couple days ago that the team submitted an offer of $2.8 million, and the player submitted an offer of $7.5 million. A big gap, yes. But nothing abnormal. Many figured after Jet's performance at the IIHF World Championship's, that his salary went way up.
Now they move on to Cole Sillinger.
