The Blues will begin the 2024-25 regular season in Seattle on Oct. 8, with the home opener on Oct. 15 against the Wild.
Fans crave sizzle, but the Blues stayed sensible at this midpoint in their retooling.
In two separate transactions, the Blues acquired center Radek Faksa from Dallas, and winger Mathieu Joseph and a 2025 third-round pick from Ottawa in exchange for future considerations.
The deal begins with the 2025-26 season, and Buchnevich will play this coming season under his previous contract with a $5.8 million cap hit.
