Blues Sign Radek Dvorak
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today the club has signed free agent right winger Radek Dvorak.

“Radek has played in two Stanley Cup Finals and was the Oilers’ best player in last year’s game seven,” said Davidson. “He brings good speed to our line-up and will be a great asset to our penalty kill.“

Dvorak, 29, has played in 746 National Hockey League games during his 10-year career with Florida, New York Rangers and Edmonton, recording 412 points (161 goals, 251 assists) and 244 penalty minutes. The 6-2, 200-pound forward appeared in 16 postseason games for the Oilers during their run to the Stanley Cup Finals last season.

The Tabor, Czech Republic native was originally drafted by Florida in the first round, 10th overall, in the 1995 NHL Entry Draft.

Orszagh is a good, hard-working player. I don't really like Dvorak, but I think he might have more natural talent than Orszagh so it might not be a bad pickup for them.

Should happen today. I guess it's better than nothing since the good free agent pool is drying up. Not a whole lot left out there.
