Blues Sign Defenseman Brennan Evans

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed defenseman Brennan Evans to a two-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. In 79 games last season with Toronto of the AHL, he had one goal and seven assists for eight points and 199 penalty minutes. He has yet to appear in an NHL game. This is really just a depth signing for the Blues, as Evans will likely spend most, if not all, of the next two seasons in the minors, where he will bring lots of toughness to the blueline of Peoria of the AHL.
