With Pavel Buchnevich injured and on his way to the injured reserve, and Brandon Saad benched with an injury as well, the Blues are running a bit thin at forward. The two missing players are key offensive guys who wouldn’t be replaced with an AHL phone call.
What to do?
How about sign the guy who travelled with your team despite not having a contract?
The Blues signed Tyler Pitlick to a one year, $750,000 contract today. He was on a professional tryout with the Blues during the preseason and was making a good impression on the coaching staff.
