It's that time of year when undrafted NCAA players start signing entry-level contracts with NHL teams, and the Columbus Blue Jackets have been particularly active in adding college talent.

After signing Jack Williams from Northeastern University yesterday, the Blue Jackets have now reached an agreement with defenseman Caleb MacDonald from the University of North Dakota.

MacDonald, 22, played 35 games as a sophomore this season, registering three goals and seven assists for 10 points.

Yesterday, the Blue Jackets made another signing, when they agreed to a two-year deal with Jack Williams from Northeastern University. 

Blue Jackets President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Don Waddell shared his thoughts on the signing:

“Caleb MacDonald is a big, strong defenseman who excels at blocking shots and being sound and sturdy in the defensive zone,” said Waddell. “We are pleased to welcome him to the Blue Jackets and look forward to his taking the next steps in his career with our organization.”

The 6-foot-3, 224-pound defenseman has recorded seven goals and 17 assists for 24 points over 66 career NCAA games between the University of North Dakota and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks from 2023 to 2025.

Eagles coach calls out star player for being out of shape: ‘Both he and I have talked about that’

https://ift.tt/5x1sACw PHILADELPHIA — Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is still not in his best form yet. After getting ejected before the first snap in Week 1 for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott , Carter made his season debut in Philadelphia’s Week 2 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium. As one of the best defensive tackles in the NFL, Carter is expected to take over games, but that didn’t happen against the Chiefs. “He had some good rushes, but he needs to round into better shape,” Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said on Tuesday. “Both he and I have talked about that. He readily admits that. I think we’ll even get more (out of him). For everything that has gone on in his world, I thought he played pretty good.” Carter amassed two tackles and three quarterback hits, while playing 80% of the snaps.

Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane ready to take on English rivals in Champions League

It will be a tough and great game. Chelsea did very well at the Club World Cup and right now in the Premier League,“ said Kane (as captured by @iMiaSanMia ). When asked about the statement made by Uli Hoeneß, Kane respectfully disagreed. “A club like Bayern always expects to win every competition. I wouldn’t say we’re underdogs, even though we’re playing against the best teams in Europe. Now begins a long journey, hopefully until May. I don’t want to look too far ahead. We want to be as high as possible in the league phase table. It all starts tomorrow,” Kane said. Harkening back to last season’s Champions...
