First Round Defenders Drafted By Columbus Blue Jackets Thursday, Both Get Contracts! 7/13/22
It's been a big week for these two men. David Jiricek was the first 2022 Draft Pick by the Columbus Blue Jacket, Number 6 Overall, on July 7th. Just 6 days later he's inked his first NHL Contract for the next 3 Seasons. This is the same contract extended to the Columbus Blue Jackets second drafted player, Number 12 Overall, Denton Mateychuk. Each contract is Entry Level, given this is their first contract within the National Hockey League. Both men are Defenseman and from what I saw today during the Development Prospect 2022 Tournament, I am very impressed. These men both earned these deals and after the speed and talent I saw today, I wouldn't have hesitated giving them a deal either!
