The St. Louis Blues acquired Radek Faksa from Dallas and Mathieu Joseph from Ottawa on Tuesday in a pair of trades for future considerations and in a separate move signed Pavel Buchnevich to a long-term extension.

The deal with the Senators also netted the Blues a 2025 third-round draft pick. Joseph has two years left on his contract at an annual salary cap hit of $2.95 million, and Ottawa was looking to clear cap space to re-sign Shane Pinto, which it then did hours later on a two-year, $7.5 million deal.

Buchnevich signed for $48 million over six years, a contract that counts $8 million against the salary cap from when it begins in 2025-26 through the 2030-31 NHL season.

Buchnevich, 29, ranks second on the Blues with 83 goals and 123 assists over the past three seasons, putting up 206 points in 216 regular-season games.

Faksa made his NHL debut during the 2015-16 season, and the native of the Czech Republic had 200 points (89 goals, 111 assists) in 683 games for the Stars.

After playing in all 19 playoff games in 2022-23, Faksa dressed for just eight of the 19 this past season, scoring a goal for his only postseason point in 2024. Dallas lost to Vegas in 2023 and Edmonton this year.

Faksa had 19 points (seven goals, 12 assists) in 74 regular-season games this season. His best years were his first two full seasons in 2016-17 and 2017-18, when he scored 33 points each time.

Joseph is coming off career highs in points (35) and assists (24) in his second full season with Ottawa. The 27-year-old’s career started in Tampa Bay, which drafted him in the fourth round in 2015.
