Blue Jackets ink 2021 first-round pick to entry-level contract

The Columbus Blue Jackets announced on Tuesday that they've agreed to terms on a three-year, entry-level contract with 2021 first-round pick Corson Ceulemans.

Ceulemans' deal with the Blue Jackets is set to begin next season, but the 19-year-old has signed a professional tryout contract (PTO) with their AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters, for the remainder of 2022-23 campaign.

The Beaumont (Alberta) native had his season with the University of Wisconsin come to an end last weekend after a playoff loss to the University of Michigan. In 33 games this season, Ceulemans had 23 points (eight goals, 15 assists), 38 penalty minutes and was a minus-five.
