Blue Jackets' Brendan Smith: Lands pro tryout
Smith agreed to a professional tryout contract with Columbus on Tuesday.
Smith registered one goal, five assists, 27 shots on net, 23 blocked shots and 41 hits across 32 regular-season appearances with Dallas in 2024-25. The 36-year-old defender will compete for a depth role with Columbus during training camp.

Blue Jackets' William Whitelaw: Joining Broncos
Whitelaw transferred to Western Michigan University from Michigan, the team announced Monday.
Whitelaw started his collegiate career with Wisconsin, posting 10 goals and seven helpers in 37 games for the Badgers. The 20-year-old winger transferred to Michigan last year, producing near-identical numbers with 11 goals and seven assists in 35 games with the Wolverines. Selected by the Jackets in the third round of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Whitelaw will now be playing for his third NCAA team in as many years -- which, along with his modest scoring totals, doesn't exactly bode well for his long-term NHL future.

Blue Jackets' Hudson Fasching: Inks one-year contract
Fasching signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Monday.
Fasching registered two goals, four points, 51 shots on net and 28 hits in 43 regular-season appearances with the Islanders in 2024-25. He will compete for a depth role with the Blue Jackets during training camp ahead of the 2025-26 campaign.

Blue Jackets' Daemon Hunt: Lands one-year contract
Hunt signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Friday.
Hunt saw action in one NHL game last season with the Wild before he was part of a trade that sent David Jiricek to Minnesota on Nov. 30. The 23-year-old Hunt spent the rest of the regular season with AHL Cleveland, picking up two goals and 12 assists in 48 games. He could see a couple of games at the NHL level in 2025-26, especially if the Blue Jackets run into injury problems on their blue line.

Blue Jackets' Mikael Pyyhtia: Inks two-way deal
Pyyhtia signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blue Jackets on Wednesday.
Pyyhtia had four goals, seven points, six PIM, 32 shots, 25 hits and 39 blocks across 47 appearances with Columbus in 2024-25. Despite spending a good chunk of the campaign with the Blue Jackets, he participated in just one NHL game beyond Feb. 8, instead serving primarily in the minors after that point. The 23-year-old will compete for a bottom-six spot on the Opening Night roster, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him start 2025-26 in the minors.

Blue Jackets' Dysin Mayo: Inks two-way contract
Mayo penned a one-year, two-way deal with Columbus on Wednesday.
Mayo featured in 58 regular-season games for AHL Henderson last year in which he garnered eight goals and 11 helpers. The 2014 fifth-round pick hasn't gotten into an NHL game since 2022-23, when he logged 15 games for the then Coyotes but failed to register a point. It's unlikely Mayo will see much, if any, NHL game action this year, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Blue Jackets' Pyotr Andreyanov: Signs long-term deal
Andreyanov agreed to terms on a five-year contract with CSKA Moscow (KHL) on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
According to Scheig, Andreyanov's deal includes a release clause after four seasons. That means the 18-year-old backstop could make the jump to North America around the 2029-30 campaign, which for goalies is right about when he would truly begin his development as an NHL netminder. In terms of fantasy, Andreyanov really only has value in terms of dynasty formats where managers can make a long-term investment.

Blue Jackets' Dmitri Voronkov: Agrees to two-year contract
Voronkov signed a two-year, $8.35 million contract with the Blue Jackets on Saturday.
Voronkov was a restricted free agent this summer after completing his entry-level contract. He had 23 goals, 47 points, 55 PIM and 71 hits across 73 appearances with the Blue Jackets in 2024-25. Going into his third NHL season, he has a chance to reach new offensive highs while playing primarily on the second line.

Blue Jackets' Isac Lundestrom: Inks two-year deal
Lundestrom signed a two-year, $2.6 million contract with Columbus on Tuesday, per Pierre LeBrun of TSN.
Lundestrom registered four goals, 15 points, 60 shots on net, 68 blocked shots and 48 hits in 79 regular-season outings for Anaheim in 2024-25. As a member of the Blue Jackets, the 25-year-old forward will likely occupy a bottom-six role.

Blue Jackets' Christian Jaros: Returns to North America
Jaros signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Tuesday.
Jaros earned two goals and 12 points in 51 regular-season games with CSKA Moscow of the KHL in 2024-25. He has played in Russia for the last three years, but he has one goal and 13 assists in 94 NHL regular-season appearances. Jaros will compete for a depth spot on the Columbus blue line during training camp.

Blue Jackets' Owen Sillinger: Signs two-way agreement
Sillinger (knee) signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Tuesday.
Sillinger produced 11 goals and 18 assists in 44 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland in 2024-25. He sustained a knee injury late in the year but could be ready for training camp in the fall. Sillinger will probably spend most of the 2025-26 campaign in the minors.

Blue Jackets' Ivan Provorov: Staying with Jackets
Provorov agreed to terms on a seven-year, $59.5 million contract with Columbus on Monday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Provorov has reached the 30-point threshold in three of his last four seasons and hasn't missed a game in the last three years. While his offensive numbers might not overwhelm considering his $8.5 million AAV, the 28-year-old blueliner's durability no doubt factored into the conversation. While Zach Werenski figures to remain on the No. 1 power-play unit, Provorov should get time with the second group this season and could push for the 40-point threshold, though he's reached that mark just once in his nine NHL campaigns.

Blue Jackets' Dante Fabbro: Inks four-year extension
Fabbro signed a four-year, $16.5 million contract extension with Columbus on Sunday.
Fabbro was a pending unrestricted free agent after completing his one-year, $2.5 million contract, but he will remain with the Blue Jackets. After being claimed off waivers from Nashville on Nov. 10, he compiled nine goals, 26 points, 82 shots on net, 66 hits and 136 blocked shots in 62 regular-season games for Columbus. Fabbro will probably be back on the top pairing alongside Zach Werenski in the 2025-26 campaign.

Blue Jackets' Malte Vass: Swedish rearguard joins Columbus
Vass was the 76th overall pick by Columbus in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Although not a big point producer, Vas played well enough in the Swedish Jr. league, posting two goals and 11 points in 40 regular-season games, to earn a five-game stint with Farjestad BK of the SHL. It's an impressive accomplishment, considering Vass didn't turn 18 until late March. He's a stay-at-home defenseman who typically plays within his limits. Vass battles hard and makes life miserable for opposing forwards with physical play. He offers very little offensively but could develop into a third-pairing, penalty-killing regular for Columbus at some point down the road.

Blue Jackets' Zach Sawchenko: Inks one-year deal
Sawchenko signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Saturday.
Sawchenko played seven NHL games with San Jose in 2021-22, going 1-2-1 with a 3.35 GAA and a .901 save percentage. He has bounced around in the minors for the last three seasons, playing for AHL Chicago, Abbotsford and Cleveland. Sawchenko was 10-11-5 with a 3.00 GAA and a .900 save percentage across 27 regular-season appearances with Cleveland in 2024-25. He could see some NHL action next season if Elvis Merzlikins or Jet Greaves suffer an injury.

Blue Jackets' Pyotr Andreyanov: Selected 20th overall at draft
Andreyanov was the 20th overall pick by Columbus in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Andreyanov is a solid technical goalie, but small by NHL standards. He's just six-feet in a world dominated by giraffes, but he's thick -- he's already close to 210 pounds. Andreyanov has good hands and is athletic, and he makes reflex saves with ease. The big thing that stands out about his season and his talent? He gave up more than three goals just twice all season in the MHL. The Columbus path to the net opened up a bit this month with Daniil Tarasov's trade out of town. Andreyanov is still several years away from the NHL, but he has a chance at an NHL career.

Blue Jackets' Jackson Smith: Picked 14th overall at entry draft
Smith was the 14th overall pick by Columbus in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.
Smith has good skills and a booming shot, and he's strong in transition. But his defensive routes and decisions still need a lot of work, and his hockey sense is a touch underwhelming. Still, most of these things are solvable with the developmental supports in an NHL system. Smith's offense isn't likely to translate into NHL production, even if it teases every once in a while. But with his mobility and smooth skating, Smith will likely develop into a prototypical 3-4 defender who logs a lot of ice time and spends a long time in the league.

Blue Jackets' Charlie Coyle: Involved in major trade
Coyle and Miles Wood were acquired by Columbus from Colorado on Friday in exchange for Gavin Brindley, a 2027 second-round pick and a 2025 third-round selection, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Coyle had 17 goals and 35 points across 83 regular-season appearances between Boston and Colorado in 2024-25. That was a major drop from his career highs of 25 goals and 60 points in 82 regular-season outings with the Bruins in 2023-24, but Coyle has finished the regular season with 30-50 points in seven of the last eight campaigns, so his most recent showing was on the low end in terms of offensive production, but it wasn't completely out of the ordinary. Coyle will likely start 2025-26 as Columbus' third-line center and on the second power-play unit.

Blue Jackets' Hunter McKown: Pens two-way deal
McKown signed a one-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Friday.
McKown hasn't appeared in an NHL game since he logged 12 outings with the Jackets back in 2022-23. Despite playing entirely in the minors last year, the 22-year-old center still managed to put together a strong campaign with 13 goals and 18 assists in 68 regular-season games for the Monsters. Given the two-way nature of his new deal, McKown should be expected to continue playing the bulk of his minutes in the minors.

Blue Jackets' Brendan Gaunce: Involved in trade
Gaunce was acquired by Columbus from Minnesota on Thursday in exchange for Cameron Butler.
Gaunce had an assist, four PIM, 11 shots, 18 hits and seven blocks in 12 regular-season appearances with Minnesota in 2024-25. He also recorded 15 goals, 29 points and 20 PIM in 39 regular-season outings with AHL Iowa. The 31-year-old will be competing for a bottom-six spot with the Blue Jackets during training camp, but it wouldn't be surprising if he started the season in the minors.
