Blues Sign Dave Scatchard and Dean Arsene

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed center Dave Scatchard to a one-year, two-way contract and defenseman Dean Arsene to a one-year, two-way contract worth $600,000. The financial terms of Scatchard's contract were not disclosed. Scatchard is not a bad signing for the Blues, as he will add some veteran depth to the lineup and bring plenty of grit and toughness to the forward lines. Arsene is really nothing more than a depth signing and will likely spend most of next season in the minors.
