Blues Re-sign Dillon Dube to One-Year Contract Worth $850,000

The St. Louis Blues have made a strategic move by re-signing Dillon Dube, a player who showcased his potential last season with the Springfield Thunderbirds in the American Hockey League. On Wednesday, the team announced that they have inked the 27-year-old forward to a one-year, one-way contract valued at $850,000.

Dube joined the Blues organization during the 2025 season on a professional tryout with the Thunderbirds, starting on December 10. His performance in the AHL was impressive; he played 46 regular-season games, where he tied for second on the team with 20 goals and placed fourth overall with 37 points. His contributions extended into the postseason, where he recorded eight points, including five goals and three assists, in 12 Calder Cup playoff games. This strong showing helped lead Springfield to the Atlantic Division Final.

Standing at 5-foot-11 and weighing 185 pounds, Dube brings valuable experience to the Blues, having appeared in 325 career NHL regular-season games with the Calgary Flames, accumulating 127 points through 57 goals and 70 assists. A second-round pick in the 2016 NHL Draft, Dube is eager to reclaim his spot in the NHL after overcoming a challenging period. In July 2025, he and four other former Canadian World Junior players were acquitted of sexual assault charges, a significant moment that allows him to focus on his hockey career moving forward.
