Fowler flourished after being traded from Anaheim to St. Louis last season and has earned himself a three-year extension worth $6.1 million AAV ($18.3M total) with St. Louis on Saturday. The 33-year-old is entering his 16th NHL season and his first full season with St. Louis after picking up nine goals and 36 points in 51 games after his trade last season.

Walker came out of nowhere to score three goals and four points in seven playoff games last season and has earned himself a two-year contract extension worth $887,500 AAV ($1.775M total). The 31-year-old Great Britain native is entering his ninth NHL season after setting career highs last season in assists (8), points (16), PIMs (63) and SOG (72).

Suseyev was St.Louis's 2023 7th round pick and will head to North America for the first time after signing a three-year, entry-level contract on Wednesday.

Carbonneau was St. Louis' 2025 1st round pick (19th overall) and has signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on Wednesday. The Quebec native skyrocketed up draft boards last season after an impressive 46-goal, 89-point campaign with Blainville-Boisbriand (QMJHL) in 62 games played. The 18-year-old will look to crack the Blues' roster out of training camp, but is expected to spend the majority of the season back in junior for a third year.

St. Louis announced Wednesday that 22-year-old forward Zach Dean will be away from his team indefinitely as he receives care from the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. The 2021 1st round pick (30th overall) appeared in only 11 games for Springfield (AHL) in 2024-25 due to a lower-body injury.

Springfield (AHL) will bring back one of their best scorers from the 2024-25 season after St. Louis announced on Saturday it had signed Nikita Alexandrov to a one-year, two-way contract extension. The 24-year-old last appeared with the Blues in 2023-24 but still had a successful seaosn in the minors with Springfield last year, putting up 21 goals and 49 points in 48 games played.

Vadim Zherenko will return for a fourth season in Springfield (AHL) after signing a one-year, two-way contract extension with St. Louis. The 24-year-old Russian netminder was St. Louis' 2019 7th-round pick (208th overall) and spent the entire 2024-25 season with Springfield, where he struggled with his 12-17-5 record, .897 SV% and 3,44 GAA.

One of the biggest offseason targets is off the board after St. Louis announced they signed Pius Suter to a two-year contract worth $4.125 million AAV ($8.25M total). The 29-year-old Swiss center leaves Vancouver after a career season where he posted highs in goals (25), points (46) and PIMs (18) across 81 games played.

Bjugstad will join his sixth team in six seasons after signing a two-year deal worth $1.75M AAV ($3.5M total) with St. Louis on Tuesday.

The first domino of the 2025 free agency has dropped after St. Louis signed Matt Luff to a one-year, two-way contract on Tuesday. The 28-year-old right-winger spent 2024-25 between Charlotte (AHL) and Springfield (AHL) and had 20 goals and 49 points in 56 total games played. He will provide St. Louis with some offensive depth but is expected to start the season back in Springfield.

St. Louis and Montreal completed a one-for-one prospect swap on Tuesday after moving forward Zack Bolduc for defensemen Logan Mailloux. The 22-year-old Mailloux was Montreal's 2021 1st round pick (31st overall) but only appeared in seven games in 2024-25, still managing to pick up two goals and four points. He is expected to compete for one of St. Louis' final defensive spots to start the 2025-26 season.

Krug is dealing with a pre-arthritic condition in his left ankle and Blues' GM Doug Armstrong doesn't expect him to play in the NHL again. He didn't completely shut the door on a Krug return, but it doesn't sound likely. If we've in fact seen the last of Krug, he finishes his career with 483 points (89G / 394A) in 778 career games with the Bruins and Blues.

Holloway hasn't play since April 3rd vs. Pittsburgh and underwent an undisclosed surgery which ended his season prematurely.
