St. Louis has signed Ross Johnston to a three-year, $2 million AAV contract ($6 million total).

Johnston has struggled to be a full-time NHLer over his career, but at age 31 in the 2025-26 season, he had a breakout season in a fourth-line role for the Anaheim Ducks, tallying 14 points (3G / 11A), 107 penalty minutes, and 192 hits in 62 games. He earns himself some security, joining the Blues on a three-year contract worth $6 million ($2M AAV).

The Blues have signed Jonatan Berggren to a one-year contract worth $2.0M.

Berggren was acquired mid-season in 2025-26 by the Blues off waivers from the Detroit Red Wings and made enough of an impact with his new team to earn a one-year contract extension. The 25-year-old Swedish forward, the 33rd-overall pick in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, scored 16 points (6G / 10A) in 36 games with the Blues last season.
