Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell worked hard to improve his blue line this summer. Part of that effort included signing bargain bin defensemen such as Dysin Mayo and Christian Jaros.
Unfortunately, one of them is already on his way out.
Jaros was signed by the Jackets as an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, to a one year contract worth $775k. Today, he finds himself on unconditional waivers for an apparent mutual termination of that deal.
That outcome is a little bit surprising, because it seemed pretty obvious from the outside that Jaros was being signed to play in the American Hockey League this year.
