Jan Hejda will not re-sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets and will become an unrestricted free agent at noon ET.
Hejda and the Blue Jackets were trying to negotiate a contract but everything fell apart this morning. As one of the better defenseman now available, look for Hejda to draw a lot of interest in free agency.

The Columbus Blue Jackets have tabled an offer to keep Jan Hedja from entering free agency.
The Blue Jackets need Hejda to sign the deal before noon Friday or the other 29 NHL teams will be free to offer the defenseman a contract. Columbus wants to retain the blueliner so it should be an interesting time leading up to free agency frenzy today. Stay tuned.

Jan Hejda's negotiations with the Blue Jackets are expected to heat up as we approach July 1st.
Hejda will become an unrestricted free agent on Friday unless Columbus can sign him to an extension. He wants to stay with the Blue Jackets, so we wouldn't be surprised if the two sides are able to work something out. Stay tuned.
