Blue Jackets rookie Marcus Bjork capitalizing on team's injury glut: 'I'm not going to come here and just look around and be happy.'
It’s time to update the list. Umea has another “notable person” to claim.The Blue Jackets announced May 5 that Bjork signed a one-year entry-level contract as a free agent from Brynas of the Swedish Hockey League, where he spent the past four years playing for three different teams.
That added his name to the Blue Jackets' organizational depth chart, but not high up the list. The Jackets have added a lot of young defensemen the past three years, so Bjork was viewed mainly as blue-line depth for the Cleveland Monsters of the American Hockey League.“I like to compete,” Bjork said at the Jackets’ development camp in July. “That is why I’m here. It’s been a long journey for me to get here and I enjoy every minute.”“I want to earn a spot with the NHL team,” Bjork said.
