Blues Sign Chris Porter to One-Year Contract

The St. Louis Blues announced today that they have signed center Chris Porter to a one-year, two-way contract. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. He would have been an unrestricted free agent on July 1. In 45 games this past season with the Blues, he had three goals and four assists for seven points. He also appeared in 36 games with Peoria of the AHL, scoring nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points. This is really just a depth signing for the Blues, as Porter is likely to spend a good chunk of next season in the minors. If he does play any games with St. Louis, he will bring plenty of offensive depth to the fourth line.
