St. Louis, MO - The St. Louis Blues signed left wing Paul Kariya on Sunday. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
'We are excited to announce we have signed a world class hockey player as well as a first class person,' said Blues president John Davidson. 'Paul gives us instant scoring up front as well as bringing an entertaining brand of hockey to the St. Louis Blues.'
Kariya, 32, spent his first nine seasons playing for the Anaheim Ducks, helping the Ducks reach the Stanley Cup Finals in 2003. Following the 2003 season, he played a season with the Colorado Avalanche before playing the last two seasons for the Nashville Predators.
The 5-10, 176-pound left wing is a seven-time NHL All-Star. He has notched over 100 points in a season twice, and has scored 30-or-more goals seven times in his career.
The Vancouver native has totaled 366 goals and 500 assists in 821 games.
Kariya was originally Anaheim's first choice, fourth overall, in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.
