Sep 25, 2023Columbus Blue Jackets Place Dylan Gambrell On Waivers

Dylan Gambrell’s brief return to the NHL will be shortlived as James Mirtle of The Athletic reports the Columbus Blue Jackets have placed him on waivers. He had not suited up in any of Columbus’ first three games to begin the 2024-25 regular season.
The Blue Jackets will be down to 12 healthy forwards on the roster for tomorrow’s game against the Buffalo Sabres. Defenseman Erik Gudbranson sustained an upper-body injury in last night’s loss against the Florida Panthers which may indicate the team will make a corresponding transaction today or tomorrow.
Gambrell spent all of last season with the Toronto Marlies making him no stranger to the American Hockey League. He scored 14 goals and 36 games leading to a one-year, $775K contract with Columbus this past offseason.
He no longer carries the pedigree of being a late second-round pick by the San Jose Sharks in the 2016 NHL Draft. He’s managed 17 goals and 40 points over 233 NHL contests without scoring more than 12 points in any season.
Should he clear waivers tomorrow, he’s likely to spend much of the season in AHL Cleveland despite Columbus’ need for additional forward depth. The team is off to a mild 1-1-0 start to begin the current campaign and is looking to stay competitive in a difficult North Division.
