The St. Louis Blues have secured defenseman Philip Broberg with a six-year contract extension worth $48 million, the team announced today.
Broberg, 24, is in his second season with the Blues after signing with the team as a free agent in August 2024 following a contentious offer sheet situation with the Edmonton Oilers. The move signaled a significant investment in the young defenseman’s potential.
This season, the 6’4”, 210-pound blueliner has appeared in 45 games, registering 14 points with 2 goals and 12 assists. Last season, Broberg led all Blues defensemen with a +21 plus/minus rating while tallying 29 points (8 goals, 21 assists) in 68 regular-season games. His offensive contributions and defensive reliability quickly made him a key component of the St. Louis lineup.
Over his career, Broberg has played in 194 regular-season games, amassing 56 points (12 goals, 44 assists) and 32 penalty minutes, posting a +16 plus/minus. He’s proven to be a consistent presence on the ice.
Broberg also has 27 career playoff games under his belt, including 10 during the 2023-2024 season, where he helped the Edmonton Oilers reach the Stanley Cup Final. His playoff experience adds another dimension to his value.
Originally from Örebro, Sweden, and drafted eighth overall by the Oilers in 2019, Broberg has also been selected to represent Sweden at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina. The upcoming Olympic tournament will showcase some of the world’s top hockey talent, and Broberg is poised to be a key player for his national team.
