Brandon native not worried about anything beyond this season with Blue Jackets
COLUMBUS — Matt Calvert heard the talk. Left unprotected by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the run-up to the NHL’s expansion draft in June, many believed the 27-year-old left-winger had a one-way ticket out of Ohio.
Reality was a little different.
The expansion Vegas Golden Knights plucked centre William Karlsson away from the Blue Jackets instead and Calvert was suddenly returning to Columbus for his eighth season in the NHL.
“I don’t know if it affected me really,” said Calvert prior to Friday’s game against the Winnipeg Jets at Nationwide Arena.
