Signing free-agent forward Pius Suter and placing defenseman Nick Leddy on waivers marked two significant moves after Tuesday’s trade for defenseman Logan Mailloux and signing of center Nick Bjugstad.

The St. Louis Blues have signed center Pius Suter to a two-year contract with a $4.125 million cap hit, addressing their need for a middle-six center.

Pius Suter, who signed a two-year, $8.25 million ($4.125 million average annual value) on Wednesday with the St. Louis Blues, was among the targets for the organization, according to general manager Doug Armstrong.
