The Columbus Blue Jackets have been consistently involved in goalie drama this season. The latest iteration came today as the team placed one of their goaltenders on waivers.

Blue Jackets Place Martin On Waivers

The team placed Spencer Martin on waivers today for the purpose of sending him to the American Hockey League.

Merzlikins Requests Trade From Blue Jackets

The move comes just days after Elvis Merzlikins reportedly requested a trade from the team.

The team has once again been among the worst in the NHL, likely prompting this move from Merzlikins. With Martin going on waivers though, it would seem as though the team has no intention of trading him in the near future. This could mean though that Martin will have a job in the NHL once again if the team does in fact trade the Latvian goaltender.
