Blues sign four Swedish players, including 2023 first-round pick Otto Stenberg

Pavel Buchnevich has one guarantee from the Blues: There will be discussions about a contract extension. Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said so after the trade deadline, and he reiterated that point two weeks ago when he spoke to reporters at his year-end news conference. If I was Pavel, I'd want to sit with the manager and talk to him. Buchnevich said he would welcome the talks, particularly after a few months of trade rumors around the deadline when he was perhaps one of the top wingers on the market and a desire for other fan bases across the league.
