Blues Sign Forward Cracknell to New Contract

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed right wing Adam Cracknell to a new contract. The exact length and financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been eligible for free agency on July 1. Cracknell spent the entire 2009-10 season with Peoria of the AHL, scoring 17 goals and 21 assists for 38 points in 76 games. He has yet to play in an NHL game. This is nothing more than a depth signing for the Blues. Cracknell has some offensive potential, but give the team's offensive depth, he will likely spend all of next season in the AHL.
