The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed veteran left winger James van Riemsdyk to a one-year, $900,000 contract for the 2024-25 NHL season. The 35-year-old van Riemsdyk, who has played over 1,000 NHL games with the Philadelphia Flyers, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Boston Bruins, brings valuable leadership and depth to the team. Last season, he tallied 11 goals and 27 assists in 71 games for the Bruins. The signing comes as the Blue Jackets look to bolster their roster following the tragic deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother. Van Riemsdyk is expected to fill a middle-six role and contribute to the power play. The Blue Jackets start their preseason on September 23 against the Buffalo Sabres and their regular season on October 10 against the Minnesota Wild.
