Perron heads back to Blues on 4-year deal

David Perron is going back to St. Louis.

The free-agent forward signed a four-year contract with the Blues on Sunday, the club announced.

St. Louis didn't disclose financial terms, but Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman reports the deal is worth $16 million.

Perron, 30, spent last season with the Vegas Golden Knights, and posted 16 goals and 66 points in 70 games.

He was drafted by the Blues in the first round in 2007, and returns for his third stint in St. Louis. Perron was selected in the expansion draft, and was part of a magical Golden Knights team that went to the Stanley Cup Final in its first season.
