Stars Sign Defenseman Woywitka to Two-Year Deal

The Dallas Stars added some much needed defensive depth to their team on Tuesday by signing defenseman Jeff Woywitka to a two-year contract worth $1.3 million. The deal averages out to $650,000 per season. In 65 games last season with the St. Louis Blues, Woywitka scored three goals and 15 assists for 18 points. In 152 career games, all with the Blues, he has six goals and 29 assists for 35 points. This is an okay signing for the Stars, as Woywitka will bring the Stars plenty of much needed offensive depth on the blueline as a fifth or sixth defenseman. He wasn’t bad on the power play last season, so he could see some time on the man advantage with the Stars next season.
