"The Blues rolled the dice a bit on Wednesday, announcing the signing of forward Jonathan Cheechoo to a one-year contract.

Cheechoo, who turns 31 today, spent last season with the Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League, accounting for 18 goals and 29 assist in 55 games, and his contract is a two-way arrangement.

With their depth at right wing, the Blues likely have Cheechoo targeted for their AHL affiliate in Peoria. However, general manager Doug Armstrong acknowledged he wouldn't mind catching lightning in a bottle with the veteran right winger."
