Blues, Joel Hofer agree to 2-year, $6.8 million contract extension

ST. LOUIS — The St. Louis Blues have signed pending restricted free agent goaltender Joel Hofer to a two-year, $6.8 million contract extension ($3.4 million average annual value), the team announced Saturday. Hofer, 24, would have become an RFA if unsigned on July 1 and eligible to sign an offer sheet with another club. Advertisement Blues general manager Doug Armstrong indicated earlier this week that he wasn't worried about Hofer's contract situation. The team's fourth-round pick in 2018 had a $775,000 AAV on his expiring two-year contract, so he's receiving a sizable raise. Hofer was 16-8-3 in 2024-25 with a 2.64 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. The Blues' goalie tandem is now set for the 2025-26 season, with starter Jordan Binnington having two more seasons left on his contract ($6 million AAV).
