On the Columbus Blue Jackets …
Aaron Portzline of The Athletic: The Blue Jackets have signed winger Cam Atkinson to a seven-year, $41.125 million contract extension – a $5.875 million salary cap hit.
The first two years of the deal carry a no-trade and no-movement. Atkinson has a limited no-trade final five years of the contract. He submits a list of 10-teams he’d okay a trade too.
The sides also added a no-trade and no-movement clause to the final year of his current contract, so the Blue Jackets can’t trade him before July 1st when his new deal starts.

Scary moment in Flyers/Jets as Radko Gudas slashes Matthieu Perreault in the head. Got five and a game, as you’d expect. pic.twitter.com/ljhY2gDHNL
