Blues Sign Forward D'Agostini to New Contract

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed right wing Matt D'Agostini to a one-year contract worth $550,000. He would have been eligible for restricted free agency on July 1. The Blues acquired the 23-year-old forward on March 2 from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for forward Aaron Palushaj. In 47 games last season with the Canadiens and Blues, he had two goals and two assists for four points. He also appeared in three games with Hamilton of the AHL, scoring one assist. Not a bad depth signing for the Blues. D'Agostini owns some scoring potential and is decent on the power play, but is also an inconsistent scorer. If given a chance by St. Louis, he could develop into a scoring forward.
