The St. Louis Blues traded forward Ivan Barbashev to the Vegas Golden Knights, TSN reported Sunday. In exchange, the Blues received prospect forward Zach Dean.
Barbashev, 27, has recorded 29 points (10 goals, 19 assists) in 59 games in his seventh season with St. Louis.
He has 178 points (78 goals, 100 assists) in 410 games since the Blues drafted him in the second round in 2014.
Dean, 20, was selected by Vegas in the first-round of the 2021 draft and has yet to make his NHL debut.
Stars add Evgenii Dadonov
The Dallas Stars acquired Evgenii Dadonov from the Montreal Canadiens on Sunday in exchange for fellow Russian forward Denis Gurianov.
Dadonov, who turns 34 next month, has 18 points (four goals, 14 assists) in 50 games this season.
Dadonov has 283 points (128 goals, 155 assists) in 463 career games with the Florida Panthers, Ottawa Senators, Vegas Golden Knights and Canadiens.
“Evgenii is a skilled forward that can play anywhere in our lineup,” Stars general manager Jim Nill said. “Recording 20 or more goals in four of his previous five seasons, he is a proven goal-scorer at the NHL level and will bolster our offensive attack.”
