Blue Jackets Re-Sign Nicholas Drazenovic to One-Year Deal

The Columbus Blue Jackets have announced that they have signed center Nicholas Drazenovic to a one-year contract extension, which will be a two-way deal for next season.  The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.  He would have been eligible for group six unrestricted free agency this summer.  In 41 games this past season with Springfield of the AHL, he had 13 goals and 28 assists for 41 points.  He last appeared in an NHL game during the 2010-11 season with the St. Louis Blues.  This is really just a depth signing for the Blue Jackets, as Drazenovic will likely spend the majority of next season in the minors.
