1 year contract for $1million.  Jonas Junland sent to Peoria and Yan Stastny clears waivers.

Well, Sydor is experienced, seems to want to play in St Louis...and importantly, the players seem to want him there.  If, as has been reported, he's become a bit of a mentor for Pietrangelo, then that's all to the good.

So, Pietrangelo on a 9 game trial, you think?  Can you really see him being sent back to Juniors?  What can he learn there anymore?  Sometimes I think you have to take a chance on a guy.  He's done well so far and yes, he'll make mistakes, but that's how you learn.

Anyway - welcome to the Blues, Darryl Sydor.  (Just please...don't get confused again when we play Dallas ...)
