In a tense standoff between the Columbus Blue Jackets and goaltender Jet Greaves, the two sides are now $4.7 million apart in their arbitration filings. The 23-year-old netminder, who made his NHL debut with the Blue Jackets last season, is seeking a significant raise after a breakout campaign that saw him post a respectable 2.95 goals-against average. However, the team is reportedly hesitant to commit to a long-term deal, sparking a heated dispute over Greaves' worth to the organization. The arbitration hearing is expected to shed more light on the negotiations, which could have major implications for the Blue Jackets' goaltending situation and their overall roster construction for the upcoming season.
