The St. Louis Blues have signed center Brayden Schenn to an eight-year contract extension worth $52 million. Schenn, 28, would have been an unrestricted free agent after the season. In Schenn's first season as a Blue in 2017-2018 after being traded from the Philadelphia Flyers, set career highs in goals, assists, and points. Schenn played in 82 games with 28 goals, 42 assists, 70 points, and a plus 10.
Last season, Schenn had 17 goals with 37 assists, 54 points, and a plus 3. In the Blues run to winning the Stanley Cup, Schenn played in all 26 games. Schenn had 5 goals with 7 assists, 12 points, and a -2.
Overall, Schenn is in his 11th season in the NHL. Schenn has played in 588 games with 154 goals, 218 assists, 372 points, and a -19. In the playoffs, Schenn has played 50 games with 8 goals, 18 assists, 26 points, and a -5.
For the Blues and Schenn it's a win-win. Schenn is part of the Blues core and loves St. Louis. I'm not sure though if I would have given him eight-years. Regardless of that it's nice to see Schenn staying beyond this season. After signing Schenn, what happens with captain Alex Pietrangelo? Are the Blues able to re-sign Pietrangelo or do they trade him?
