The St. Louis Blues announced Monday that they have bought out the final year of defenseman Jay McKee's contract.
The 31-year-old backliner and defensive specialist posted one goal and eight
points in 69 games for the Blues last season, his third with the club.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the club will be responsible for
two-thirds of the $4 million due next year to the 12-year veteran, which is
scheduled to be paid out over a two-year period. The original terms of the
deal were four years, $16 million, when the Blues inked McKee as a free agent
from the Buffalo Sabres in 2006.
In 740 NHL games, the Ontario native has posted 20 goals, 115 points and 568
penalty minutes with Buffalo and St. Louis.
