Blues sign Neal, Frolik to PTOs

The St. Louis Blues are bringing veteran wingers James Neal and Michael Frolik to training camp on professional tryouts, the team announced Friday.

Neal, who began his career with 10 straight seasons of 20-plus goals, has seen his production dip in recent years. The 34-year-old tallied just five goals and five assists in 29 games with Edmonton in 2020-21 and was a frequent healthy scratch. The Oilers bought out the final two years of his contract in July.

Frolik, 33, failed to record a point in just eight games with the Montreal Canadiens last season. He was regarded as a reliable two-way winger in his prime, but he's failed to carve out a consistent role for himself over the last two campaigns.
