Blues sign Kyrou to 2-year contract

The St. Louis Blues inked Jordan Kyrou to a two-year deal carrying an average annual value of $2.8 million.

Kyrou was a restricted free agent.

The 23-year-old forward produced 14 goals and 21 assists across 55 contests last season. His 35 points put him on pace to notch about 52 points in a full 82-game campaign.

Kyrou suited up for only 44 NHL games over the previous two seasons. St. Louis drafted him 35th overall in 2016.

The Blues have two remaining RFAs - forwards Zach Sanford and Robert Thomas - with about $3.5 million in cap space, according to CapFriendly. St. Louis already retained Pavel Buchnevich, Ivan Barbashev, and Dakota Joshua earlier this offseason.
