Blues D Cam Fowler inks 3-year, $18.3M extension

St. Louis Blues defenseman Cam Fowler signed a three-year, $18.3 million contract extension.

The deal was announced on Saturday for Fowler, who is entering the final season of an eight-year, $52 million contract he signed with the Anaheim Ducks on July 1, 2017. He could have become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.

"I'm thrilled," Fowler said. "I can't say enough about the guys in the locker room and management, everybody here and how they've welcomed me and my family, the fans and all the support that we've had. I appreciate the support from management to get this done and as a player here, I'm really excited for the next few years and being a part of this team, so very grateful."

Acquired in a trade with Anaheim on Dec. 14, 2024, Fowler recorded 36 points (nine goals, 27 assists) in 51 games with St. Louis.

"We talked over the summer and said training camp would be a good time to initiate conversations there and we'll get through the summer," St. Louis general manager Doug Armstrong said. "(Fowler's agent) Pat Brisson and I maybe talked 10 days ago and sort of told him what the framework that was acceptable for both sides term-wise and then we got into the finances. It started with we really wanted Cam here, we've loved everything he's done and he loves it here. It felt natural when we started to talk that both sides wanted to get something done."

Fowler, 33, has 493 points (105 goals, 388 assists) in 1,042 career games with the Ducks and Blues. He was selected by Anaheim with the 12th overall pick of the 2010 NHL Draft.
