Blue Jackets re-sign Jenner, add Kuraly

Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen has been busy early into free agency day, as he has both re-signed Boone Jenner and added Sean Kuraly.

Jenner, 28, has spent his entire eight-year career with the Blue Jackets. He had just one year remaining on a deal paying him $3.75 million per season but was able to agree to a four-year, $15 million extension. In 41 games last season Jenner scored eight goals, collected 17 points, and has 121 goals and 240 points in 530 games for his career.

Kuraly, 28, had spent his entire four year career with the Boston Bruins. In 47 games last season he managed four goals and nine points in 47 games while playing a fourth line role. Like Jenner, he signed a four year deal, though his comes at a much lower cost of $2.5 million per season. He will provide a significant boost to their penalty kill.
