ST. LOUIS (KMOX) — He's not going anywhere.
Set to be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn has signed a new 8-year, $52 million contract to remain in the Bluenote.
Schenn was acquired from the Philadelphia Flyers in 2017 in exchange for center Jori Lehtera, who is no longer in the NHL, and two 1st-round picks.
In his first season with the team in 2017-18, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound forward logged a career-high 28 goals and 70 points. That performance earned him a trip to the All-Star Game.
He put up 54 points in the regular season last year and added 12 more in the postseason to help the Blues lift the Stanley Cup.
Overall, the Saskatoon, Saskatchewan native has appeared in 588 career regular-season games, including 79 or more in five of the last six campaigns. He has amassed 372 points (154 goals, 218 assists) during the regular season, as well as 26 points (eight goals, 18 assists) in 50 career postseason games.
