Jackets Sign York


It’s a two-way contract that will pay York $750,000 with the Blue Jackets and $100,000 with the minor-league Syracuse Crunch.“Mike is a proven NHL player who has had two seasons that have been not at the level he was previously,” Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said. “He’s trying to get his career back on track.“We expect him to seriously compete for a job here. If he can get back to a level he was on the Island (2005-06), he’ll be a very good addition for us.”York, 30, has played in 578 NHL games with the New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Edmonton, Philadelphia and Phoenix.Last season, in 63 games with Phoenix, he had six goals, eight assists and a minus-8 ratings.
