The Columbus Blue Jackets signed free-agent forward Gustav Nyquist to a four-year contract at a $5.5-million cap hit, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

Nyquist tallied a career-high 60 points last season. He began the year with the Detroit Red Wings but was traded to the San Jose Sharks as a deadline rental.

The Swede will turn 30 years old on Sept. 1.
