Haven’t done a news round-up in awhile, so here’s what has happened since the end of the season:
Blue Jackets signings
Jarmo Kekalainen wasted no time in getting started on off-season business. Here are the players who have signed new contracts so far this off-season:
Kirill Marchenko (2 year ELC, $925,000 AAV): The second round draft pick from 2018 has put up 48 points in 80 games over his last two seasons in the KHL. The 6’3” 22 year old could be the big, skilled forward the roster needs. Hopefully joining a team with countrymates Vladislav Gavrikov and Yegor Chinakhov makes the transition easier.
