The Columbus Blue Jackets have signed forward Anthony Duclair to a one-year contract worth $650K, the team confirmed to The Athletic's Aaron Portzline Thursday.

Duclair, 22, had a breakout year in his first season with the Arizona Coyotes in 2015-16, scoring 20 goals and 44 points.

Things slowed down for the former third-round pick the following campaign, when he posted five goals and 15 points in 58 games. He also spent six weeks with the Tucson Roadrunners in the AHL during the year.

After another slow start last year, Duclair requested a trade. In January, he was dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks where he appeared in 23 games, adding two goals and eight points.

Chicago chose not to extend a $1.2-million qualifying offer to Duclair late last month, making him an unrestricted free agent.

The Anaheim Ducks have signed defenseman Andrej Sustr to a one-year deal, the team announced Thursday.

The 27-year-old's deal is worth $1.3 million, according to The Athletic's Eric Stephens.

He's coming off a one-year, $1.95-million contract with the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The 6-foot-7 defenseman was limited to 44 games last season, tallying two goals and seven points. With a crowded back end in Tampa Bay, Sustr was a healthy scratch down the stretch and for the playoffs.

Say goodbye to one of the NHL's last true enforcers.

Anaheim Ducks winger Jared Boll confirmed his retirement from the league after 11 seasons, The Athletic's Aaron Portzline reports.

Boll, who spent nine seasons with the Columbus Blue Jackets and two with the Ducks, appeared in 579 career games, racking up 1,298 penalty minutes. His 171 fighting majors lead the league since his first season in 2007-08. Despite spending so much time in the penalty box, he still mustered 28 goals and 66 points in his career.

Boll told Portzline he made the decision to retire months ago, after having back surgery late in the season and learning that he and his wife are expecting their first child.

"I'm proud of how I played and I'm proud of my career," he said. "I think I gave it everything I could."

Boll finishes his career ranked first in Blue Jackets history in penalty minutes and fourth in games played.

"I had so much fun playing for the Blue Jackets. So much fun playing for the fans here," he added. "The way the city took me in and welcomed me when I was a young player ... I'll never forget that."

The 33-year-old appeared in 76 games with the Coyotes last season, recording three goals and 15 points.

After acquiring centers Alex Galchenyuk and Marcus Kruger this offseason, Richardson now joins a crowded group down the middle for the Coyotes alongside Derek Stepan, Christian Dvorak, and Dylan Strome.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.

Defenseman Luca Sbisa didn't receive a contract offer from the Vegas Golden Knights and the unrestricted free agent will hit the open market, his representative told TSN's Pierre LeBrun on Friday.

Sbisa is coming off a three-year, $10.8-million contract.
