The Texas Stars have signed defenseman Scott Valentine to an AHL standard player contract for the remainder of the season. Valentine is a veteran of the AHL and is familiar to Stars fans from his time in Milwaukee. The vet blue liner has been performing well for the Idaho Steelheads so far this season.
