Our short-lived, regional nightmare is over. Elvis Merzlikins has signed a 2 year extension with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Some of the deets:
So if you’re keeping track at home...or have simply bookmarked the Joonas Korpisalo extension article, you’ll see that Elvis is making a not insignificantly higher amount of money than Korpi.
Does that mean anything at all? To me, it means he’s the starter. But, as I was reminded a short while ago...
So perhaps this is a way to get Elvis a nice head start on a lucrative long-term deal after he walks into unrestricted free agency.
