Blues sign James Neal to one year contract

If there’s something that the Blues love, it’s a hard-nosed veteran presence. If there’s something else that the Blues love, it’s a good professional tryout opportunity. Those two rivers converged this pre-season in the form of James Neal, a former 30 goal scorer who has proven that he still has gas left in the tank.

Neal has 294 goals and 555 points in 850 NHL games played between the team that drafted him, the Dallas Stars, the Pittsburgh Penguins, the Nashville Predators, the Vegas Golden Knights, the Calgary Flames, and most recently, the Edmonton Oilers.
