Blue Sign Kent Huskins to One-Year Deal

The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed defenseman Kent Huskins to a one-year contract worth $1 million. In 50 games last season with the San Jose Sharks, he had two goals and eight assists for 10 points. He missed the last 22 games of the regular season and 13 playoff games with an upper body injury, as well as nine games early in the 2010-11 season with an upper body injury. Not a bad depth signing for the Blues, as Huskins will bring plenty of defensive depth to the team's defense. Look for him to play as the sixth or seventh defenseman next season.
