Blues sign Thorburn, Bennett, Sundqvist

The St. Louis Blues announced a trio of depth signings Saturday, agreeing to terms with forwards Beau Bennett, Chris Thorburn, and Oskar Sundqvist.

Bennett joins the Blues after spending one season with the New Jersey Devils. He tallied eight goals and 11 assists in 65 games last season. Bennett's new contract with the Blues is a one-year deal worth $650,000.

Thorburn comes to St. Louis on a two-year agreement that carries a $900,000 cap hit. He had been a part of the Winnipeg Jets (previously the Atlanta Thrashers) since 2007. He was claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft but was not signed to a contract extension.

Sundqvist came to the Blues in last week's trade that sent Ryan Reaves to the Pittsburgh Penguins. He spent most of last season with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, the Penguins' minor-league affiliate, where he registered 46 points in 63 games. Sundqvist's contract is worth $650,000 for one year.
