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.

N. Merkley - F

NJ

Nick Merkley's time in Finland is over as his loan agreement with Assat has expired.

Merkley had four goals and 13 points in 19 games with Assat. Merkley was acquired from Arizona in the Taylor Hall trade and he had a goal and an assist in four games with the Devils. He will have a chance to earn a spot with New Jersey in training camp. Merkley was selected in the first round, 30th overall in 2015 and has yet to make any impact, or even much of a dent, in the NHL.

C. Pickard - G

DET

The Detroit Red Wings have loaned goaltender Calvin Pickard to the Vienna Capitals of the ICEHL.

Pickard will get in some playing time in the Austrian capital before the start of training camp. Pickard is expected to play for Grand Rapids of the AHL which is tentatively set to start action on February 4. Pickard is third in the Detroit pecking order as far as their goaltending depth chart is concerned as Jonathan Bernier and Thomas Greiss are definitely ahead of him. Pickard was 0-2-0 for the lowly Red Wings last season with a 5.46 GAA and a .767 save percentage. He was better in the AHL with a 17-12-4 mark to go with a 2.86 GAA and a .903 save percentage.

G. Sparks - G

VGK

The Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL have signed goaltender Garret Sparks to a one-year deal.

It's a homecoming of sorts for Sparks who played for Orlando from 2013-16 when it was the Maple Leafs ECHL farm team. Sparks was selected in the seventh round of the 2011 Draft and has played 38 games at the NHL level, 37 with Toronto and one last season with Vegas. He is 14-18-2 with a 3.11 GAA and a .897 save percentage in his NHL career and likely will be the starter for Orlando when play begins on December 11.

D. Stephens - D

BUF

The Syracuse Crunch have sent defenseman Devante Stephens and three others to Orlando of the ECHL.

The ECHL is starting its season on December 11 with a partial schedule as eight teams have suspended operations for a year due to the pandemic and five other teams are waiting until January 2021 to start play. That leaves 13 teams ready to go. Clint Windsor, Nikita Pavlychev and Peter Abbandonato are also heading down to get in some extra playing time. Stephens is entering his fourth professional season as he played for Syracuse and Cincinnati last season. He had six assists in 38 AHL games in 2019-20.

D. Larkin - F

DET

The Detroit Red Wings practiced on Little Caesars Arena ice Monday for the first time in almost nine months.

A bunch of players who are in the Detroit area including Anthony Mantha and Dylan Larkin went onto their home ice and had a skate. The Red Wings were the worst team in the NHL last season and as a result, did not participate in the NHL 's Return to Play so the last time the team was on Little Caesar's ice was March 11, the day before the NHL shut down. It looks like the NHL is starting to gear up to return to action.

Z. Bogosian - D

TOR

Toronto GM Kyle Dubas believes the Maple Leafs could use seven blueliners at times during games in 2020-21.

"The depth of our D would lend itself to this and I wouldn't be surprised to see us use it from time to time," Dubas said on Saturday. He mentioned that Zach Bogosian's penalty kill ability and Mikko Lehtonen's power-play skills could become factors in this decision, but it will ultimately to be up to coach Sheldon Keefe if it's implemented. Dressing seven defensemen in games could also provide Toronto's star forwards with more ice time during even-strength situations.

M. Rasmussen - F

DET

Michael Rasmussen has three goals and 11 points in 10 games with the Graz 99ers.

Rasmussen has been a disappointment offensively since the Red Wings made him the ninth overall pick in the 2017 Draft. He spent all of last season in the AHL, scoring seven times and adding 15 assists in 35 games after scoring eight and adding 10 assists in 2018-19 for the Red Wings. Detroit sees him as a two-way center but he lost time last season due to injury and that hampered his development at center. The move to Europe will help that and he should be in good shape to make the Red Wings once training camp begins in North America.
