The Blue Jackets will not be renewing the contract of assistant coach Josef Boumedienne, sources tell The Athletic’s Aaron Portzline. It’s a little late in the offseason to make coaching changes, especially for a club still looking to lock down its head coach. Columbus has seen a lot of personnel turnover this offseason, naming Don Waddell as their general manager in late May before firing head coach Pascal Vincent after all previous head coaching vacancies created this offseason had been filled.

The New York Islanders all but put a bow on the offseason when they re-signed Simon Holmstrom. They still have to deal with Oliver Wahlstrom, who heads to arbitration but any big move at this point seems unlikely. A big trade or a late-summer signing looks like they are off the table and the Islanders’ roster looks just about set for the 2024-25 season.

Michigan State hockey has added a high-level scoring defenseman to its 2024-25 roster.
Nathaniel Bott of the Lansing State Journal reported on Tuesday that the Spartans have added defenseman Vladislav Lukashevich to replace the hole left by star defenseman Artyom Levshunov. Levshunov was selected No. 2 overall in this year’s NHL Draft and has recently elected to forgo his remaining eligibility with the Spartans to begin his professional career.
Lukashevich starred for Tri-City this past season in the USHL. According to Bott, he was third in scoring for defenseman in the USHL with 11 goals and 32 assists. Lukashevich was also a second-team All-USHL selection this past season.
Lukashevich is a fourth-round selection of the Florida Panthers.
