from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch,
Blues defenseman Erik Johnson has agreed to a two-year contract extension with the club, a source has told the Post-Dispatch.
Financial terms of the deal weren’t immediately available.
An announcement on Johnson’s extension could be made by the club later today.
Johnson, 22, had been a restricted free agent who was not allowed to receive offer sheets because he missed the entire 2008-09 season with a knee injury.

Wow, that is an absolute bargain IMHO.
Weber and Doughty’s figures coming up should drastically change Johnson’s salary outlook for the 2012 season.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they signed similar short term deals with the CBA talks looming again.
