The St. Louis Blues have announced that they have signed forward Adam Jecho and defenseman Lukas Fischer to three-year entry-level contracts.
Jecho, 19, was selected by the Blues with the 95th overall pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-5 center has appeared in 56 games this season with the Edmonton Oil Kings of the WHL, posting 25 goals, 28 assists, and 53 points. This was after he had 23 goals and 47 points in 54 games with the Oil Kings this past campaign.
Fischer, on the other hand, was selected by the Blues with the 56th overall pick of the 2024 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-3 defenseman has appeared in 51 games this season with the Sarnia Sting, recording 15 goals, 22 assists, 37 points, and 81 penalty minutes. In 2023-24 with Sarnia, he had six goals and 34 points in 68 contests.
Jecho and Fischer are two solid prospects in the Blues' system, so it is certainly a good thing that they have signed both of them to entry-level deals. It will be fascinating to see how much of an impact they make with the Blues later down the road from here.
