James Wisniewski has been signed to a six-year $33 million deal by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Wisniewski's rights had been traded from the Montreal Canadiens to the Blue Jackets on Wednesday in exchange for a conditional seventh round draft pick that now turns into a fifth rounder with the completion of the deal.

Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson is pleased with the addition to his defensive corps.

"James is a player we identified very early on and we are thrilled to have him," said Howson. "He brings offensive skill and grit to our blue-line, character to our dressing room and will be a key contributor to our hockey club."
