Barbashev was given a qualifying offer from the Blues on Tuesday, Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

EDGE Analysis

The contract, should Barbashev accept, will be worth $832,500 of base salary as a one-way contract for next season. The Russian enjoyed his highest point output of his career last season, notching 14 goals and 26 points in 80 games. The 23-year-old is likely to see a bottom-six role again next season, barring some unexpected changes to the forward group.
