ST. LOUIS (KMOX) - The St. Louis Blues and defenseman Colton Parayko have agreed to an eight-year contract extension that will keep him in St. Louis through the 2029-30 season.
The deal is worth $52 million with a $6.5 million AAV.
Parayko has dressed in 418 career regular-season games, tallying 171 points (41 goals, 130 assists), 119 penalty minutes and a plus-54 rating. In 70 career playoff games, he has posted 27 points (eight goals, 19 assists).
Since entering the NHL, the 28-year-old is one of just 10 defensemen with at least 170 points and a plus-50 rating.
"I can't wait to wear the Blue Note for another nine years," Parayko told stlouisblues.com. "St. Louis has been my home now for six seasons, and this is where I want to be. All the relationships I've gained, the teammates I've had, and the organization have all had a big impact on me. Winning here in 2019 was special, and I want the chance to stay here and do that again.
