Overview

• Fowler’s deal runs through 2028–29 at a $6.1 million AAV, a slight drop from his prior $6.5 million cap hit.
• General manager Doug Armstrong said completing the agreement before the season was a priority after recent talks with agent Pat Brisson.
• Fowler is expected to anchor a pairing with Colton Parayko as the club balances veteran minutes with prospects Philip Broberg and Logan Mailloux.
• After his December 2024 arrival, Fowler produced 36 points in 51 games and posted 10 points in seven playoff games, a single-series franchise record for a Blues defenseman.
• The extension removes a looming 2026 unrestricted free agent question for the team’s top four on defense.
