Columbus signs Berard
TSN.ca Staff

The Columbus Blue Jackets have added another veteran defenceman. TSN has learned that Columbus has inked Bryan Berard to a 2-year deal worth $4.5 million.

In the last NHL season, Berard had 47 points in 58 games with the Chicago Blackhawks. Berard became an unrestricted free agent after the Blackhawks opted not to extend him a qualifying offer.

On Monday, Columbus agreed to terms with Adam Foote, one of the most-coveted defencemen on the free agent market.

If Columbus pairs Berard up with Foote, that could be a good pairing. Berard moves the puck very well and can score. Foote would be the stay at home/grinder type of guy. Also, on the PP, Foote does have a decent shot. I could see Berard setting up Foote for a few beauts from the point.

Rafalski, Hamerlik... after that it gets pretty thin.
