BLUE JACKETS TEAM NEWS CENTER

Mikhail Grigorenko - C

Columbus Blue Jackets

Mikhail Grigorenko remains committed to signing with the Columbus Blue Jackets, even after the NHL rejected his contract.

Added Apr 21 3:17 pm (EST)

Grigorenko and the Blue Jackets agreed to a one-year contract for the 2020-21 campaign on Monday, but the NHL rejected it, basically saying that the deal should have been filed on July 1. The Blue Jackets have since issued a statement announcing their intention to re-submit the contract at the appropriate time and Grigorenko is on board with that plan. “I’ve made my decision,” Grigorenko said. “I believe the contract is valid and it will be filed on July 1. I don’t think anything changes. There’s no way I’m going to talk to any other teams.” Grigorenko is returning to North America after scoring 19 goals and 41 points in 47 KHL contests this season.

A. Texier - F

CBJ

Blue Jackets activated C Alexandre Texier from injured reserve.

Texier suffered a lumbar stress fracture back in late December, but he will presumably be available for the Blue Jackets in the NHL's planned 24-team Stanley Cup Playoffs. The 20-year-old center had recorded 13 points (six goals, seven assists) through 36 games with Columbus before the injury.

M. Rantanen - RW

COL

Mikko Rantanen (upper body) skated with his Avalanche teammates on Monday in Denver.

Rantanen was just about ready to return from his upper body injury in March when the NHL season suddenly got put on hold amid the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic. The 23-year-old forward should be a full-go for Colorado in the league's planned 24-team Stanley Cup Playoffs. He ultimately finished with 19 goals and 22 assists (41 points) in 42 regular-season games.

J. Kotkaniemi - F

MTL

Jesperi Kotkaniemi (spleen) will be a full participant at Canadiens training camp.

Kotkaniemi suffered an injury to his spleen back in March while playing in a game for the AHL's Laval Rocket and was expected to miss the remainder of the 2019-2020 campaign, but the COVID-19 shutdown has allowed him extra time to recover. The 19-year-old forward struggled in his time at the NHL level this season and will have to play his way onto the Canadiens' active roster for the planned 24-team Stanley Cup Playoffs.

M. Vorobyev - F

PHI

Mikhail Vorobyev has agreed to a three-year deal with Salavat Yulaev of the KHL.

The 23-year-old native of Russia tallied 12 goals and 16 assists in 45 minor league games this season with the Flyers' AHL affiliate in Lehigh Valley, but he managed only one goal and two assists in 20 games at the NHL level. Vorobyev is young enough that we could see him back in North America at some point.

J. Iginla - F

LA

The Hockey Hall of Fame announced Wednesday that Jarome Iginla, Marian Hossa, Kevin Lowe, Kim St-Pierre, and Doug Wilson will be part of the 2020 class.

Ken Holland, the former general manager of the Red Wings and current general manager of the Oilers, has also earned induction under the Builders category. The induction ceremony is currently scheduled for November 16 in Toronto, though that could certainly change amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Iginla leads the way here after recording exactly 1,300 points (625 goals, 675 assists) over the course of his 20-year NHL career, spent primarily in Calgary. Hossa racked up 1,134 points (525 goals, 609 assists) in 19 seasons.

Nick Ebert has agreed to a deal with Orebro of Sweden's SHL.

R. Boucher - F

Reid Boucher has signed a one-year deal with Avangard Omsk in Russia's KHL.

Rick Dhaliwal of TSN 1040 and The Athletic reports that it'll be worth $719,000, just north of the current NHL minimum. There is a $143,000 bonus if Boucher finishes top-three in the KHL in scoring. The 26-year-old forward was second in the AHL this season in goals (33) and points (67), and he did it all in only 53 games.
