Blues sign veteran forward to contract after being released from PTO weeks ago
Despite being released from his professional try-out contract (PTO) a little over two weeks ago, the St. Louis Blues have signed veteran forward Tyler Pitlick to a one-year, one-way contract worth $750,000.
The 30-year-old was released from his PTO on October 7th, days before the start of the 2022-23 season, but joined back up with the Blues over a week later and began practicing with them as a non-roster player.
The signing of Pitlick on Tuesday came as the Blues had to place forward Pavel Buchnevich on injured reserve. Buchnevich hasn't played since suffering a lower-body injury during St. Louis' season opener on October 15th, where he had a goal and an assist.
Pitlick, a native of Minneapolis (Minnesota), split the 2021-22 season between the Calgary Flames and Montreal Canadiens. In 39 games, he recorded five points (one goal, four assists), six penalty minutes and was a minus-11.
