Ryan Whitney has been invited to the Blues' training camp. The 30-year-old rearguard played 34 games with the Oilers last year, notching four goals and nine assists. NHL.com's Louie Korac notes that this is clearly an insurance move for the Blues in case Alex Pietrangelo, a restricted free agent, is not signed to start the year.
