The St. Louis Blues have locked up one of their many pending free agents.
The club agreed to a two-year contract extension with defenseman Joel Edmundson on Friday.
His deal carries an average annual value of $1.05 million.
Edmundson was a pending restricted free agent with a cap hit under $1 million. The 22-year-old has nine points and an average ice time of 14:54 in 66 games this season, his first in the NHL.
He was a second-round pick of St. Louis in 2011.
The Blues have three remaining pending RFAs - Jaden Schwartz, Anders Nilsson, and Magnus Paajarvi - and six pending UFAs - captain David Backes, Troy Brouwer, Kyle Brodziak, Scottie Upshall, Steve Ott, and Jeremy Welsh.
