Blues' Oskar Sundqvist: Starts skating
Sundqvist (knee) has resumed skating, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Wednesday.
Sundqvist suffered a torn ACL on March 25 and was initially projected to be reevaluated in six months. Seeing him back on the ice ahead of training camp is encouraging, but it remains to be seen if the 30-year-old forward will be ready for the regular season. He had six goals and 21 points in 71 contests last season.

Blues' Torey Krug: Won't play this season
Krug is set for ankle surgery to address pre-arthritic problems and will miss the entire 2024-25 campaign, the team announced Tuesday.
Krug's ankle problem was originally announced back in July with a 6-8 week recovery timeline, but it seems the issue couldn't be addressed without surgical intervention. The team may have had an idea that this was coming, considering they pried Philip Broberg from the Oilers with an offer sheet while also signing free agents Pierre-Olivier Joseph and Ryan Suter to one-year deals. With Krug, who figures to land on long-term injured reserve, out of action, Scott Perunovich could see the biggest uptick in ice time.

Blues' Quinton Burns: Signs entry-level contract
Burns penned a three-year, entry-level deal with the Blues on Friday.
The 19-year-old blueliner was selected in the third round -- 74th overall -- in 2023. He was sent back to OHL Kingston during training camp last season and managed six goals and 35 points in 58 regular-season games. He is slated to return to Kingston for another junior season in 2024-25.

Blues' Dylan Holloway: Contract offer unmatched
Holloway will officially sign with the Blues on a two-year, $4.58 million contract after the Oilers opted not to match the offer Tuesday.
Holloway is far from a lock for the Opening Night lineup. He figures to be in a battle for ice time with Mathieu Joseph and Kasperi Kapanen but should at least have the opportunity to make an impression during training camp. In his 38 NHL appearances last year, the 22-year-old Holloway showed flashes of his offensive game, recording six goals and three assists while also dishing out 90 hits.

Blues' Philip Broberg: Offer sheet not matched
Broberg officially signed a two-year, $9.16 million contract with St. Louis after Edmonton didn't match the offer Tuesday.
Broberg played in just 12 NHL games for the Oilers last season, registering two assists, four hits and six shots in 11:37 of ice time per game. With his new team, the blueliner should have the opportunity to compete for regular minutes, though he will face tough competition from the likes of Scott Perunovich and Pierre-Olivier Joseph -- not to mention veteran Ryan Suter.

Blues' Torey Krug: Dealing with ankle injury
Krug was diagnosed with pre-arthritic changes in his left ankle and will be evaluated in 6-8 weeks.
That timeline puts Krug's next check-up at just before training camp. If his ankle gets worse, surgery is on the table, which would cost him the entire 2024-25 campaign. As is, it's likely the defenseman misses at least some time early in the season since his offseason ramp-up will be disrupted. If Krug misses the year, it could lead to a full-time role for Pierre-Olivier Joseph on the third pairing, while Scott Perunovich and Justin Faulk would figure to get the most additional power-play time.

Blues' Ryan Suter: Links up with St. Louis
Suter signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with the Blues on Wednesday.
Suter was bought out by the Stars in June, the second time he's been bought out since 2021. The 39-year-old defenseman has the ability to earn an additional $2.225 million in performance bonuses. Suter remains capable as a third-pairing defenseman, but after posting 17 points in 82 regular-season contests last year, there is virtually no upside in his game for fantasy purposes.

Blues' Adam Jiricek: Inks entry-level contract
Jiricek signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Blues on Tuesday.
The Blues wasted no time getting Jiricek under contract after the defenseman was drafted 16th overall Friday. The blueliner's fantasy value is likely to be limited even in dynasty formats since he is more of a physical force than a scoring threat. Jiricek will probably need at least a couple of years of development before threatening for an NHL roster spot.

Blues' Pierre-Olivier Joseph: Lands one-year contract
Joseph signed a one-year, $950,000 contract with St. Louis on Tuesday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Joseph compiled two goals, nine assists, 42 shots on net, 44 blocked shots and 47 hits across 52 regular-season contests with Pittsburgh in 2023-24. He will add some depth to the blue line of St. Louis. Ottawa traded forward Mathieu Joseph to the Blues on Tuesday, allowing Pierre-Olivier to be on the same team as his older brother.

Blues' Pavel Buchnevich: Signs six-year extension
Buchnevich agreed to terms on a six-year, $48 million contract extension with St. Louis on Tuesday.
Buchnevich has reached the 60-point threshold in each of the past three seasons with the Blues, including hitting the 25-goal mark in all of those campaigns. There is no reason to expect any sort of production drop-off for the Russian winger heading into 2024-25, so fantasy players should be looking at him in the early rounds of re-draft formats.

Blues' Radek Faksa: Acquired in trade
St. Louis obtained Faksa from Dallas on Tuesday in exchange for future considerations.
Faksa registered seven goals, 19 points, 71 shots on net and 97 hits over 74 regular-season outings with the Stars in 2023-24. As a member of the Blues, he will likely occupy a bottom-six role and see plenty of action on the penalty kill.

Blues' Mathieu Joseph: Brought in via trade
Joseph was traded to the Blues from the Senators on Tuesday along with a 2025 third-round pick in a swap for future considerations.
Joseph's departure from Ottawa will see the Senators save $2.95 million against the cap in each of the next two seasons, but it'll cost them a third-round pick to get the Blues to pick up the contract. For his part, the 27-year-old winger is coming off a career season in which he set new personal bests in assists (24), points (35) and shots (124). The Quebec native should slot into a middle-six role with his new club and could be considered for minutes with the second power-play unit.

Blues' Corey Schueneman: Joining St. Loo
Schueneman signed a one-year, two-way deal with St. Louis on Monday, per PuckPedia.
Schueneman spent last year with AHL Colorado, scoring 22 points in 67 total games between the regular season and playoffs. He has 31 games of NHL experience and will give the Blues some extra organizational depth on the blue line.

Blues' Kasperi Kapanen: Pens one-year contract
Kapanen signed a one-year, $1 million contract with St. Louis on Monday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Kapanen collected six goals, 22 points, 99 shots on net and 64 hits in 73 regular-season outings for the Blues in 2023-24. He was utilized up and down the lineup but should see most of his playing time in a bottom-six role during the 2024-25 campaign.

Blues' Hunter Skinner: Inks one-year deal
Skinner signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Blues on Sunday.
Skinner chipped in three goals, 10 points and 94 PIM in 50 regular-season outings for AHL Springfield in 2023-24. The 23-year-old defender doesn't have any NHL experience yet. Skinner will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2024-25 campaign in the minors.

Blues' Adam Jecho: Hulking winger goes at No. 95
Jecho was the 95th overall pick by the Blues in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
An import from Czechia, Jecho's numbers in the WHL this past season don't scream "top prospect." He managed just 23 goals and 47 points in 54 games for Edmonton. The attraction here is the size. Jecho is a 6-foot-5 center, and those guys are always in high demand. Jecho doesn't skate particularly well and tends to fade into the background too often. It will be up to the Blues and their development staff to work with Jecho to impact games in a variety of ways on a more consistent basis.

Blues' Ondrej Kos: Adds depth to St. Louis system
Kos was the 81st overall pick by the Blues in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.
Kos' season was derailed by illness, and his numbers suffered. He never got back on track while splitting time with three teams in Finland. He also played for his native Czechia at the World U18s. Kos is a tall (6-foot-2), 165-pound kid with good hands and a decent amount of speed, but he tends to get pushed around in the offensive zone simply because he doesn't have much muscle on his frame at this point. Kos is still several years away from potential NHL duty, but he could be a long-term upside play for St. Louis.
