Monday, Jul. 3rd, 2006
ST. LOUIS – St. Louis Blues President John Davidson announced today the club has signed free agent right winger Bill Guerin to a one-year contract.
“Bill is another Stanley Cup champion who has the ability to bring a combination of speed, skill and offense to our top two forward lines,” said Davidson. “He is still a top power forward in the game who thrives on taking the puck to the net.”
Guerin, 35, has played in 949 National Hockey League games during his 14-year career with New Jersey, Edmonton, Boston and Dallas, recording 663 points (328 goals, 335 assists) and 1,373 penalty minutes. The 6-2, 210-pound power forward helped New Jersey win the Stanley Cup in 1995. Guerin has played in three NHL All-Star games and was voted a second team All-Star in 2001-02 after scoring a career-high 41 goals for the season. Since 1998-99, the Worcester, Massachusetts native has posted 40-plus point seasons and registered a career-high 85 points (40 goals, 45 assists) in the 2000-01 campaign.
Guerin was originally drafted by New Jersey in the first round, fifth overall, in the 1989 NHL Entry Draft.
