Blues Sign Forward Crombeen to Two-Year Contract

The St. Louis Blues announced on Monday that they have signed right wing B.J. Crombeen to two-year contract worth $1.745 million. The deal averages out to $872,500 per season. Crombeen split the 2008-09 season with the Blues and Dallas Stars after being claimed off waivers from the Stars in November. In 81 games last season, he scored 12 goals and 10 assists for 22 points and 148 penalty minutes. This is a great signing for the Blues, as Crombeen plays a real physical game and has lots of energy. He proved last season that he has a bit of offensive skill in him too, so look for him to make offensive contributions from time to time on the checking lines.
