ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Blues have signed veteran defenceman Ryan Suter to a one-year contract.

General manager Doug Armstrong announced the signing on Thursday, saying the 39-year-old who has spent the past three seasons in Dallas will make a base salary of $775,000.

Suter had two goals and 15 assists in 82 regular-season games, and a goal and three assists in 19 post-season games with the Stars. Dallas bought out his contract roughly two weeks ago.

Suter was originally drafted seventh overall by Nashville in 2003 and has had a 19-year NHL career with three teams, with the Minnesota Wild being the other. Suter has 105 goals, 576 assists and 761 penalty minutes in 1,444 regular-season games. He has seven goals and 37 assists in 133 post-season games.

The Wisconsin native ranks first among active defencemen in career games played, sixth in points, 15th in goals, tied for third in assists and ninth in penalty minutes.
