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.
