Overview

• Pius Suter signed a two-year, $4.125 million per season contract with the St. Louis Blues on July 2, 2025.
• Suter comes off career highs of 25 goals and 46 points in 2024-25 with Vancouver, where he ranked first on the team in penalty-kill ice time.
• The Blues now feature four dependable centers — Robert Thomas, Brayden Schenn, Suter and newcomer Nick Bjugstad.
• Vancouver was unable to match Suter’s market valuation under tight salary-cap conditions and must pursue trades or internal options to fill the void.
• Suter’s departure leaves a significant special-teams gap for the Canucks, who will look to Elias Pettersson and depth pivots to compensate.
