It's a two-year deal, that gives the 31-year-old a bit of a bump-up from the minimum $775,000 AAV he's playing on this year, to an $887,500 AAV for the following two seasons.

"Obviously, St. Louis is where we want to be," Walker said. "My family and I love it. Besides the on-ice things, the off-ice in St. Louis is very community-friendly. We love it here, we enjoy it. The on-ice side of things, the culture here is where we want to be, and obviously, hopefully we can build off what we did last year.

"It's always nice to have that stability, kind of have that in your back pocket for sure. ... It was pretty quick the past few days. I think it's something that both sides wanted and there wasn't too much to it."

Walker will be going into his 7th season with the Blues organization, but last year was a breakthrough. He had his first full season with the big club, playing 73 games in his fourth-line role, averaging just over 12 minutes of ice time per night. The tenacious, high-energy forward handed out a career-high (by far) 281 hits with his 5'9", 187-pound frame. That was good for 7th in the NHL last season.

His eight goals and 16 points were a bonus to the forechecking and physicality he brings. But he surprised everyone by scoring three goals in the Blues' opening round seven-game series against the Winnipeg Jets. He also handed out a whopping 40 hits in those seven games.

Overall, in 229 regular-season NHL games, Walker has 56 points, a plus/minus rating of 0, and 563 hits.
