Blues, Soshnikov agree to terms on 1-year deal, worth reported $800K

The St. Louis Blues and forward Nikita Soshnikov agreed to terms on a one-year contract, the team announced on Sunday.

The deal will pay the speedy forward $800,000 and keep him with the Blues through the 2018-19 season, according to Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.

Soshnikov began this past season with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he failed to crack the lineup and only played three games with the team before being dealt to the Blues in February for a fourth-round pick.

The 24-year-old played in just 12 games with the Blues following the trade, where he amassed one goal and one assist.
