Columbus Blue Jackets News
The Blackhawks have signed Jack Johnson to a one-year contract.
The Blue Jackets have re-signed Trey Fix-Wolansky to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Sharks have signed Luke Kunin to a two-year contract.
The Hurricanes signed Zach Sawchenko to a one-year, two-way contract.
Sawchenko, who struggled in the AHL last year, got thrust into the NHL for a period of time, going 1-2-1 with a 3.35 GAA and .901 SV%. He'll be an AHL goalie for the Hurricanes but he was 4-10-0 with a 4.03 GAA and .877 SV% in that league a year ago.
The Coyotes have signed Jon Gillies to a one-year, two-way contract.
Gillies appeared in 20 NHL games a season ago, going 3-10-2 with a 3.70 GAA and .887 SV% with the Blues (1 game) and Devils (19 games). In Arizona he will battle with Ivan Prosvetov for playing time behind Karel Vejmelka.
The Blue Jackets have signed Johnny Gaudreau to a seven-year, $68.25 contract.
Gaudreau spent the first nine years of his NHL career with the Flames and is coming off of the best season of his career. He set career-higher in goals (40), assists (75) and points (115) in 82 games. Gaudreau played almost exclusively with Elias Lindholm and Matthew Tkachuk, which was one of the best lines in the NHL. In Columbus, he won't have the same quality of linemates, so replicating his 115-point season is going to be next to impossible. Still, he should elevate the games of someone like Patrik Laine and should have no trouble getting to 30-plus goals and 50-plus assists.
The Blue Jackets have signed Erik Gudbranson to a four-year contract worth $16.0 million ($4.0M AAV).
The Blue Jackets have signed Denton Mateychuk to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Coyotes have signed Christian Fischer to a one-year contract extension.
The Sharks have acquired Luke Kunin from the Predators for John Leonard and a 2023 3rd round pick.
The Blue Jackets have acquired Mathieu Olivier from the Predators for a 2022 4th round pick.
Olivier was a key member of the Predators in 2021 but fell behind the eight-ball with an injury in 2022, spending most of the year in the AHL. The rugged winger has seven points (3G / 4A) and 102 hits in 48 career NHL games. He'll likely be a fringe roster player for the Blue Jackets in 2022-23.
The Senators have signed Dylan Gambrell to a one-year, $950k contract extension.
The Blue Jackets have signed Daniil Tarasov to a three-year, $3.15 million contract extension.
The Blue Jackets have signed Joona Luoto to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Blue Jackets have signed Marcus Bjork to a one-year, entry-level contract.
The Blue Jackets have signed Makiel Pyyhtia to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Blue Jackets have signed Kirill Marchenko to a two-year, entry-level contract.
Werenski (nose) will miss the final two games of the regular season.
