The St. Louis Blues have agreed to a two-year contract with restricted free agent Ivan Barbashev.

The contract pays the forward an average of $1.475 million per season.

Barbashev, 23, was the Blues’ last unsigned restricted free agent after he played out the final year of his entry-level contract last season.

In 80 games last season, mostly in a bottom-six role, Barbashev set career-highs with 14 goals and 26 points. He then added three goals and six points in the playoffs to help the Blues win the Stanley Cup.

Barbashev was originally a second-round pick by the Blues in 2014. In 163 games over three seasons, he has 26 goals and 51 points.
