Tanabe trying out with Blues

With several players out with injuries, the Blues invited former Carolina Hurricanes defenseman David Tanabe to camp on a tryout basis. Tanabe, 27, had five goals and 17 points in 60 games with the Hurricanes last season. "We're trying to get better, so it adds depth, and we'll see how it goes," Blues President John Davidson said. "There's no promises on either side of the coin or the ledger sheet, there's no contract. We just want to see how he plays.

This is too bad. I know the Canes invited him to camp, but maybe he thinks he has a better shot making it in St. Louis. Hard to say.
