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 first domino of the 2025 free agency has dropped after St. Louis signed Matt Luff to a one-year, two-way contract on Tuesday.

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.
