Christian Fischer gives Blue Jackets' fourth line added experience, size, strength and just enough scoring potential.
The Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed forward Christian Fischer off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings and loaned forward Mikael Pyyhtia to the Cleveland Monsters, the club’s American Hockey League affiliate, President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Don Waddell announced today.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will almost certainly not trade pending unrestricted free agent Ivan Provorov, says The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun.
Mathieu Olivier likely won’t hit the open market as a free agent.
The Columbus Blue Jackets sit in the first wild card spot with two days to go until the 2025 trade deadline. Their GM, Don Waddell, has spoken openly about their plan to reward the team by adding at the deadline.
