Blue Jackets' William Karlsson: Pens two-year deal with Columbus

Karlsson signed a two-year extension with the Blue Jackets on Thursday worth $1 million annually, Aaron Portzline of The Columbus Dispatch reports.

Analysis:

Karlsson managed nine goals and 11 helpers in his first full season in the NHL and missed just one game all year. While his production doesn't jump off the page, the 23-year-old center's durability and grit make him a valuable asset to the franchise, although not necessarily fantasy owners.
