Blue Jackets sign Princeton free agent Eric Robinson

The Columbus Blue Jackets have added some depth to their prospect pool, signing Princeton forward and undrafted free agent Eric Robinson to a two-year, entry-level contract.

"Eric is a power forward with excellent speed who plays a very reliable two-way game and brings the type of character and leadership we value as an organization," Blue Jackets general manager Jarmo Kekalainen said in a statement.

Robinson is expected to join the Blue Jackets for Tuesday's contest against the Edmonton Oilers.

The 22-year-old has spent the past four seasons with the Tigers. He opted to turn pro after Princeton lost out in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.

Robinson tallied 17 goals and 14 assists across 36 games this season.

Prior to joining the Tigers, the New Jersey native spent one season with the USHL's Dubuque Fighting Saints, where he collected 24 points in 50 contests.
