What they got in return was a seasoned veteran in Ivan Barbarshev, who has a post-season pedigree.

With Doug Armstrong blowing it up moving Ryan O'Reilly, and Vladimir Tarasenko, Barbshev mentioned feeling it was a matter of time before he was dealt. But with a fresh start in Vegas, the young center hopes to make an immediate impact on the ice.
Barbshev's landing in Vegas will push the needle further, with Bruce Cassidy's tutelage and his two-way skill will no doubt make a perfect pairing.
In 59 games so far this season, he's put up 10 points and 19 assists for 29 points and will look to rebound in a fresh start.
