“We expect comparable production from Suter this season, though maybe not as many goals; Suter had a career high 18.1 shooting percentage in 2024-25, which should regress closer to his career average of 13.1 percent. A 20-goal season is well within the realm of possibility and, pending his special-teams roles, he could eclipse the 50-point mark for the first time in his career.

All in all, Suter is a perfect addition to the Blues roster and should be a key reason why they’re able to return to the playoffs in 2025-26.” DeMarini said.
