8th year right wing Noel Acciari(52) inked a 1-year, 1-way deal with St. Louis Blues shortly into unrestricted free agency, following 3 successful campaigns for Florida Panthers.
Undrafted he was initially signed by Boston Bruins after winning the 2015 NCAA Division 1 Championship with Providence College Friars.
The 5’10” 209 lbs. forward has never really been a big scorer, but did pot 20 in his 1st season in the sunshine state.
He currently has 11, including 1 in his 2nd game with new team Toronto Maple Leafs after a recent trade sent him north.
The 31-year is a free agent at the end of the current frame, but we think he inks for 1 or 2 more to stay, as he was sought.
He actually jumps ship for a smart, nice 3-year deal with Pittsburgh Penguins to the tune of $2M AAV.
