The Columbus Blue Jackets have continually hit a wall this summer when it comes to negotiations with the teams best players. Both Sergei Bobrovsky and Artemi Panarin will likely enter the final season of their contracts with the Jackets both very far away from a deal.
According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, talks between Bob and management have stalled. Both sides seem to be on very different pages when it comes to salary and terms, which should come as welcome news to Jackets fans.
It is no secret that Bob is looking for a Carey Price-like deal as he enters unrestricted free agency.
