Colton White - Secures two-year deal White agreed to terms on a two-year, two-way contract with Columbus on Monday.
Impact White saw action in 23 regular-season games for New Jersey last year in which he notched four assists, 23 hits and 14 shots while averaging just 12:15 of ice time. In 107 career NHL games, the 29-year-old blueliner has never found the back of the net, chipping in 14 combined assists for the Devils and Ducks. White's move to Columbus won't make NHL ice time any easier to come by, as he figures to once again play the bulk of his minutes in the AHL.

Erik Gudbranson - Returning to Columbus Gudbranson signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gudbranson has spent the past four years in Columbus, but he's missed significant time due to injuries in the last two seasons. After making a career-low 16 regular-season appearances during the 2024-25 campaign, he appeared in 37 regular-season games last year and recorded a goal, two assists, 64 blocked shots, 45 hits and 19 PIM while averaging 17:46 of ice time. He'll return to the Blue Jackets on a one-year contract but will have to showcase more durability if he hopes to put himself back on the fantasy radar.

The 34-year-old netminder also has a 44-17-8 record, 2.85 GAA and .898 save percentage in 78 career regular-season NHL games. Copley is likely to start 2026-27 in the minors, but he should be summoned to the Blue Jackets if Jet Greaves or Elvis Merzlikins suffer an injury at any point during the campaign.
