Mathieu Joseph Waived by St. Louis Blues
Mathieu Joseph was waived by the St. Louis Blues for purposes of contract termination, a significant move for the 29-year-old winger as he seeks a new opportunity in the NHL. This season, Joseph has appeared in 39 games for St. Louis, registering two goals and 11 points, but his tenure with the team has been described as having gone poorly.
Joseph is in the final year of a $2.95 million deal and will become a free agent after the season. He has a total of 61 goals and 160 points in 459 career NHL games, showcasing his experience in the league. His performance this season included two goals and nine assists, averaging 12:13 of ice time over the last two years with the Blues.
This marks the second time in two weeks that Joseph had been placed on waivers, with the first instance occurring on February 27, 2026, when he was subsequently assigned to the AHL’s Springfield Thunderbirds. His time in St. Louis has been tumultuous, and he has recorded 311 hits throughout his NHL career, indicating his physical style of play.
If Joseph clears waivers, he must sign with another team by 3:00 p.m. EST to be eligible for the postseason. Observers expect that he will find a new club within the next 24 hours, as teams look to bolster their rosters ahead of the playoffs.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the specific teams that may be interested in Joseph, but his experience and skill set could make him a valuable addition to a contending team looking for depth. As the NHL season progresses, the dynamics of team rosters continue to shift, and Joseph’s next move will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
