It's been a busy Wednesday for the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The club has reportedly signed third overall pick Pierre-Luc Dubois to his entry-level contract, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
#CBJ cannot register Pierre-Luc Dubois' entry level contract until July 1. Expect a formal announcement at that time.

The Dubois news comes moments after the club announced a six-year contract extension with prized defenseman Seth Jones, worth a reported $32.4 million.
The Blue Jackets shocked most of the hockey world Friday when they took Dubois with the No. 3 selection in the first round. To the 18-year-old's credit, he ripped up the QMJHL in 2015-16, scoring 42 goals and adding 57 assists in 62 games. He had 12 points in 12 playoff games.
The contract is a standard three-year deal that all rookies sign.
