Earlier this season, when the Columbus Blue Jackets and right winger Mathieu Olivier began negotiating a contract extension, Olivier’s initial demand was that any new agreement include a minimum term of four years.

Now signed through the 2030-31 season, Olivier has set career highs with 12-9-21, 113 PIM and 232 hits in 61 contests in 2024-25
