ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The St. Louis Blues announced the re-signing of forward Tyler Bozak on a one-year deal worth $750,000 plus bonuses.
Bozak, 35, was originally acquired by the Blues on July 1, 2017 as a free agent from Toronto and has played in 764 career NHL games, recording 449 points (167 goals, 282 assists). He has also played in 40 career playoff games with St. Louis, including 2019, when he played in all 26 playoff games to help the Blues capture the 2019 Stanley Cup Championship.
His contract will allow him to earn up to $2 million with incentives for games played and playoff success, according to reporter Andy Strickland.
It's a large cut in salary for Bozak, coming off a three-year $15 million deal with St. Louis that expired at the end of last season.
For comparison, Blues backup goalie Ville Husso is also on a contract that will pay him $750,000 this season.
