Dube gets $850,000 for next season and becomes the second player acquitted in the world junior case to land an NHL contract.
- The Louis Blues signed Dillon Dube to a one-way contract worth $850,000 for next season on Wednesday, guaranteeing his salary regardless of whether he plays in the NHL or American Hockey League.

- General manager Alexander Steen said the organization is "a second-chance organization" and praised Dube's approach "with a sincerity and humility" during his time with Springfield.
- Carter Hart, another acquitted player, signed with Vegas and backstopped the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Final, while Michael McLeod signed a three-year contract to remain in the Russia-based KHL.
- After playing 58 games with Springfield this past year, Dube now competes for a roster spot with the Louis Blues next season under his one-way deal.
