Oskar Sundqvist has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the St. Louis Blues, ensuring his stay with the team. The deal, valued at $3 million, secures Sundqvist's position ahead of the trade deadline, reflecting both the team's and the player's commitment to a continued partnership. Sundqvist's new contract carries an average annual value (AAV) of $1.5 million, a financial commitment that underscores his value to the team.
