Despite limited cap space, the team has shown confidence in Olivier's abilities after acquiring him from the Nashville Predators the previous year.
Olivier had a decent season, setting career highs in goals and points.
In 65 games played, the 26-year-old recorded five goals and accumulated 15 points. His contributions on the ice go beyond his physicality, as his size and skill make him a solid asset for the Blue Jackets' forward lineup.
