Andrew Peeke to a new multi-year deal. Peeke still has another year left on a two-year contract signed previously, so the new deal doesn't kick in until next season.
"The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed defenseman
Andrew Peeke to a three-year, $8.25 million contract extension ($2.75 AAV) through the 2025-26 National Hockey League season, club General Manager and Alternate Governor Jarmo Kekalainen announced today. Peeke is currently in the final year of a two-year contract signed in August 2021." - Columbus Blue Jackets
Peeke was a second round pick (34th overall) in 2016. Last season was his first full one in the NHL. He put up 2 goals and 13 assists in 82 games.
"Andrew is a smart, versatile defenseman who moves the puck well, added an element of physicality to his game last season and showed that he can play effectively in all situations. He arguably was our most improved player a year ago and we are excited to see what the future holds for him as he continues to develop and progress as a player." - Columbus GM Jarmo Kekalainen
