BREAKING: Columbus Blue Jackets Place 28-Year Old Goalie On Waivers
The goaltending situation for the Columbus Blue Jackets is taking an unexpected turn, raising eyebrows with the latest decision.
In a surprising move today, the Blue Jackets have officially placed 28-year-old goalie Spencer Martin on waivers, as reported by reliable beat reporter Mark Scheig.
News: #CBJ has placed Spencer Martin on waivers.
Selected in the third round of the 2013 NHL Draft, Martin joined Columbus last summer with hopes of securing a significant role, especially after taking a hiatus in Vancouver over the past two years.
Regrettably, his performance this season has not lived up to expectations. With a 3.65 goals-against average (GAA) and an .887 save percentage in 13 games played, Martin has found himself on shaky ground.
Despite the ongoing drama surrounding
Elvis Merzlikins, the decision to place Martin on waivers has left uncertainties about his future with the team.
