Labanc signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Columbus on Saturday, Max Miller of NHL.com reports.
This is a bit of a surprise as Labanc had been with the Devils on a PTO during training camp. He was outstanding during preseason action, scoring six goals and adding an assist in four games. Look for Labanc to have a role as a bottom-six forward with the Blue Jackets.
