The Columbus Blue Jackets are gearing up for a big season in which they will look to snap the second-longest active Stanley Cup Playoff drought in the Eastern Conference, and they may be down a man heading into the regular season after an injury during a preseason game Monday night. The team announced in the middle of the team’s game against the Detroit Red Wings that defenseman Dante Fabbro would not return to action with an upper-body injury. Fabbro is currently projected to begin the year o...
Fabbro is entering the second season of a four-year contract with the Blue Jackets that carries a salary cap hit of $4.125 million.
Red Wings prospect Kienan Draper dropped the gloves with Blue Jackets forward Luke Tuch and took him down during Monday’s preseason game.

In today’s NHL rumors rundown, Sergei Bobrovsky is already making a significant impression inside the Toronto Maple Leafs’ locker room. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets and Adam Fantilli remain stuck…
Adam Fantilli is still not at Columbus Blue Jackets ' training camp, as the restricted free agent is without a contract, and the two sides are still battling over what his value should be on a new deal. Certainly, as has been noted, there was a "Before Carlsson" price earlier in the summer — i.e. before the $18M AAV offer sheet for Leo Carlsson — and a much higher "After Carlsson" price . Another potential comp includes the $15M AAV that Connor Bedard signed for on his new deal with the ...
The Columbus Blue Jackets' tough offseason is dragging on into training camp. The Zach Werenski situation from earlier in the summer is under control for now, but the Adam Fantilli and Kirill Marchenko problems persist. With the latter, Marchenko still has one year to run on his contract, at a bargain $3.85 million this coming season. But all signs point to him not re-signing in Columbus, and his gathering with the media at camp a couple of days ago did absolutely nothing to calm those f...
In November 2024, the Minnesota Wild sent Daemon Hunt – who eventually returned to the Wild via waivers – a top-five protected first-round pick, a 2026 third, a 2026 fourth, and a 2027 second to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for David Jiricek, a 6-foot-4 right-shot defenseman taken sixth overall in the 2022 NHL Draft. Fifteen months later, after Jiricek had produced zero points in 25 games and the Wild sent him back to Iowa, they flipped him to the Philadelphia Flyers in a straight-up ...

The Columbus Blue Jackets made few additions this summer – but the most troubling thing is their current contractual stalemate with star center Adam Fantilli. The Jackets are playing with fire by taking a hard line with Fantilli – and if the standoff lasts long, Jackets fans should be incensed.
The Columbus Blue Jackets remain without their top-line center, who is absent from camp as he is still without a contract. And people around the sport are stunned that it's gotten to this point. Insider Frank Seravalli has torn into the team for the delay in getting Adam Fantilli signed. Speaking on Sportsnet 590 The Fan, he lambasted the team. "Each day that passes while a deal hasn't been consummated is unforgivable for the Columbus Blue Jackets." @frank_seravalli joins @ailishforfar a...
Are the Columbus Blues Jackets just creating more questions that will need answers they may not like by not having Adam Fantilli signed by now?

Kirill Marchenko had to listen to trade rumors all offseason, and it turns out they were for good reason. The Columbus Blue Jackets forward isn't interested in staying in Columbus long term, and prefers to be traded. With training camps opening this week, Marchenko was put in a tough spot answering questions about his future. It became clear as day that the Russian forward wasn't interested in hanging around long term and signing a contract extension. The 26-year-old is owed $3.8 million AAV t...
Adam Fantilli didn't show up for the Blue Jackets ' opening day of training camp on Wednesday. It's official now that this is a real holdout, not just speculation about one. Fantilli Follows Through On Missing Camp
The Athletic's Aaron Portzline reported there wasn't much hope for an 11th-hour deal heading into Wednesday, and that's exactly how it played out. According to Pat Brisson, Fantilli's agent, his client will not participate in camp without a signed contract, a firm stan...
Earlier this summer, Dan Millstein of Gold Star Hockey shared with ESPN’s Kevin Weekes that Kirill Marchenko wasn’t interested in extending with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Although the organization has seemingly worked things out with defenseman Zach Werenski, the same cannot be said of Marchenko. In his return to the team for the start of training camp, Marchenko’s first press availability was awkward at best. According to Aaron Portzline of The Athletic, Marchenko was incredibly elusive and ...
