Blues sign Barbashev to 2-year, $2.95M deal

The St. Louis Blues have inked forward Ivan Barbashev to a two-year contract with an average annual value of $1.475 million, the club announced on Sunday.

Barbashev was a restricted free agent, and the final player on the Blues' roster in need of a new pact.

The 23-year-old recorded 14 goals and 26 points while appearing in 80 regular-season games for St. Louis last season, adding six points in 25 playoff contests en route to a Stanley Cup championship.

Barbashev, who primarily played a fourth-line role in 2018-19, has spent his three NHL seasons with the Blues, the team that drafted him 33rd overall in 2014.
