Blue Jackets Sign Goaltender Jet Greaves to $15 Million, 3-Year Deal Through the 2028-29 Season
Greaves posted a 26-19-9 record last season and is expected to compete for the starting job with Elvis Merzlikins.
- On Thursday, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed goaltender Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million contract, avoiding a scheduled arbitration hearing. General Manager Don Waddell announced the agreement.
- With a hearing scheduled in Toronto, the team and agent Pat Brisson negotiated intensely until reaching a deal. Arbitration would have resulted in a one-year contract, leaving both sides vulnerable to repeat disputes.
- Greaves, 25, finished last season with a 26-19-9 record, a 2.60 goals-against average, and two shutouts in 55 games. He previously developed through the ECHL and AHL before proving himself at the NHL level.
- Don Waddell said, "Jet is a high-character, talented and athletic goaltender who has become an important part of our hockey club." Greaves is now signed through the 2028-29 season, stabilizing the position.
- Greaves will compete with Elvis Merzlikins for the starting role during training camp. Merzlikins enters the season with one year remaining on his contract, setting the stage for a position battle.
