28-Year-Old Right WingRW
Columbus Blue Jackets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Olivier is a fourth-line forward who has some fantasy relevancy in certain situations thanks to his gritty play. He finished the 2023-24 campaign with five goals, 12 points, 70 PIM and 163 hits across 54 contests with the Blue Jackets. He has one season left on his two-year, $2.2 million contract and is expected to serve in largely the same role again this year. That should lead to him once again recording over 60 PIM and 150 hits, but he's unlikely to do too much offensively. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a six-year, $18 million contract with the Blue Jackets in March of 2025.
Two-point, four-hit power game
RWColumbus Blue Jackets
April 8, 2025
Olivier had a goal and an assist in a 5-2 win over Ottawa on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
These were Olivier's first points in six games. While he has 18 goals and 31 points in 77 games this season, his best fantasy asset is his ability to hit. Olivier has 294 this season, including four Tuesday, and that moves him into second in the NHL.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
A part-time player in Nashville over parts of his first three NHL seasons, Olivier -- a Mississippi native with dual citizenship -- was a regular for Columbus last year, appearing in 66 games before a lower-body injury ended his season in late March. Olivier's offensive production was minimal (five goals, 15 points), although he did chip in 178 hits. Impressed with what they saw, the Jackets inked Olivier to a new two-year, $2.2 million extension in June. The 26-year-old will again serve as a bottom-six option for the club in 2023-24.

Olivier and the Blue Jackets are finalizing a contract extension with general manager Don Waddell telling reporters Monday, "We're getting really close. We're hoping to get it wrapped up in the 24 hours or so," per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.
