The Ryan Johansen watch continued in Columbus.
Shortly after reports emerged that Johansen and his agent had sent a two-year contract proposal to the Blue Jackets, Aaron Portzline of the Post Dispatch reported the following: "New proposal received. New proposal rejected. No progress. Onward."
With that, the brief glimmer of hope in regards to a potential resolution to this contentious standoff is gone as quick as it came.
