The St. Louis Blues signed forward Brayden Schenn to an eight-year, $52 million extension on Friday.

The deal, which will run through the 2027-28 season, carries an average annual value of $6.5 million.


The 28-year-old is currently playing the last year of his previous deal, a four-year, $20.5 million contract he signed with the Philadelphia Flyers in 2016. He was scheduled to become to an unrestricted free agent in July.

He carries a $5.125 million cap hit for this season and therefore gets a hefty raise after this year.

Blues general manager Doug Armstrong has admitted he’ll have to get creative to re-sign both Schenn and Pietrangelo and leave enough for the rest of the roster. That could mean a cost-cutting trade or two before July 1st…
