The Blue Jackets have signed free agent defenseman Mike Commodore to a five-year contract worth $18.75 million, The Dispatch has learned. That's a cap hit of $3.75 million per season.
An announcement is expected soon.
Commodore, 28, is known as one of the NHL’s most physical defensemen, using his 6-foot-5, 232-pound frame to matchup well against opponent’s top lines.
He’s played seven seasons in the NHL with New Jersey, Calgary, Carolina and Ottawa. Last season, splitting time between Carolina (41 games) and Ottawa (26), he had 3 goals, 11 assists and a minus-7 rating to go with 100 penalty minutes.

CBJ are building an identity. Tough, grity and hard to play against. In an area dominated by Big Ten Football where it's "2 yards and a cloud of dust" mentality, and "Defense wins championships" these moves will fit pretty well with the local fans!!

you really are setting up the defence in front of Leclaire.
