2026 Projections
Signed a two-year contract with the Blue Jackets in June of 2026.
Inks two-year deal
Pyyhtia signed a two-year contract with the Blue Jackets on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
ANALYSIS
Pyyhtia's contract is a two-way deal for 2026-27, but it switches to a one-way contract with a $900,000 cap hit for 2027-28. The 24-year-old had a goal in five regular-season outings with Columbus in 2025-26. He also recorded 21 goals and 49 points in 59 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland. Pyyhtia isn't likely to be a favorite to make Columbus' roster out of training camp, but he should be in the mix.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pyyhtia appeared in 47 games with Columbus last season, registering four goals, three helpers and a minus-11 rating. The 2020 fourth-round pick also garnered three markers, 16 points and a plus-4 rating over 28 regular-season appearances with AHL Cleveland. Considering the Finnish winger has spent time in both the NHL and AHL in each of the last three years, he’s not a name to think about from a fantasy perspective at this point in his young career.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for demotion
Pyyhtia is expected to be returned to AHL Cleveland on Thursday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
ANALYSIS
Pyyhtia is the odd man out for the Blue Jackets after they picked up Christian Fischer off waivers and needed a roster spot. Still, the 23-year-old Pyyhtia may not have to toil in the minors for long, as the 23-man roster limit will lift after the trade deadline, clearing the way for him to rejoin the NHL club.
