Blues Sign McClement

According to Andy Strickland at HockeyBuzz.com, on Friday the Blues signed on potential RFA, Jay McClement, to a 3-year deal. There wasn't much for fanfare in regards to this signing, if it actually is official, but it's a move that the Blues needed to make this summer anyways. McClement put in 82 games in the season for them, registering only 26 points, but is regarded more as a depth/checking centre, who isn't relied upon for a lot of points.

The article suggests that the cap hit will be $1.45 million over the three years, which keeps their cap number very managable. The addition of McClement to the team update posted a week ago now gives the team 16 players signed on for $44.2 million.
