ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9 (UPI) -- The St. Louis Blues Tuesday signed un-restricted free agent forward Dean McAmmond and re-signed defenseman Bryce Salvador.
McAmmond, 32, has 135 goals and 192 assists in 12 seasons with Chicago, Edmonton, Philadelphia and Calgary. During the 2003-04 season, he recorded 17 goals and 13 assists in 64 games for the Flames.
"Dean is a player who immediately adds speed and quickness to our roster, and that was a top priority for us," said St. Louis General Manager Larry Pleau. "We also believe that he can contribute goal scoring ability and instill veteran experience to our lineup through the strong success he has enjoyed over his NHL career."
During last year's lockout, McAmmond played for the Albany River Rats of the AHL and led the club in scoring with 61 points in 79 games.
Salvador, 29, a four-year veteran, had three goals and five assists in 69 games in the 2003-04 season.
