Svozil signed a three-year, entry-level contract with Columbus on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Svozil managed just eight points in 71 games for Czech club Brno Kometa over the past two seasons, so the Jackets clearly didn't draft him in the third round of the 2021 NHL Draft for his offensive upside. The 18-year-old blueliner will likely spend another year overseas but probably shouldn't be utilized by fantasy players even if he does crack the 23-man roster.
