Binnington will start the Blues season opener in Colorado.
Sundqvist (knee/hips) is on the ice in training camp but is not expected to be ready for the start of the season.
The Blues have re-signed Robert Thomas to a two-year contract.
Thomas followed up a breakout 2020 season with an injury-filled, disappointing 2021 campaign. He finished the season with just 12 points (3G / 9A) in 33 regular-season games but had a better showing in the Blues' short playoff run. Entering his fourth season, Thomas is still stuck behind Ryan O'Reilly and Brayden Schenn on the depth chart, so it's hard to envision him providing anything more than the 0.6 points-per-game we saw from him two years ago.
The Blues have agreed to terms with Colton Parayko on an eight-year, $52 million contract extension.
The Blues have signed Tanner Dickinson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Blues have re-signed Jordan Kyrou to a two-year, $5.6 million contract.
The Blues have signed Tommy Cross to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Red Wings have signed Luke Witkowski to a two-year contract.
The Red Wings have signed Pius Suter to a two-year contract.
The Predators have signed Matt Luff to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Josh Leivo to a one-year deal worth $750K.
The Blues have signed Pavel Buchnevich to a four-year contract worth $23.2 million ($5.8M AAV).
Buchnevich was acquired from the Rangers last week and the RFA quickly signed a four-year extension with his new team. In St. Louis, Buchnevich will play with either Ryan O'Reilly or Brayden Schenn and has averaged 25 goals and 33 assists (57 points) per 82 games over the last three seasons.
The Blues have signed Nathan Walker to a two-year, two-way contract extension.
Walker has put up strong AHL numbers over the years but hasn't been much of a factor at the NHL level. Over the last three years, he has scored two goals with two assists (four points) in 16 games with the Capitals and Blues. Look for him to remain in the AHL for most of 2021-22.
The Blues have acquired Pavel Buchnevich from the Rangers for Sammy Blais and a 2022 second-round pick.
Buchnevich has taken his game to a new level over the last two seasons, averaging 24 goals and 39 assists (63 points) per 82 games in the two shortened seasons. Moving to St. Louis, Buchnevich becomes one of many unsigned RFA's who will be looking for a raise. Once signed, he'll likely replace Jaden Schwartz, who will be a UFA on July 28th.
The Wild have signed Nick Bjugstad to a one-year, $900k contract extension.
Carl Gunnarsson has announced his retirement from hockey.
