Stars Sign Krys Barch To Contract Extension

Mike Heika reports that the Dallas Stars have come to an agreement with fourth line winger Krys Barch on a two-year extension worth $1.675 million: 

The deal will pay Barch $825,000 next season and $850,000 in 2011-12. He made $575,000 last season. Barch could have become an unrestricted free agent Thursday.

Defending Big D discussed the possibility earlier today:

If he is indeed extended, it's just further evidence that this roster is going to be brought back very nearly in it's entirety for another uphill 82 game climb.
