The Carolina Hurricanes have traded defenseman Justin Faulk and a 2020 5th round pick to the St. Louis Blues for defenseman Joel Edmundson, prospect Dominik Bokk and a 2021 7th round pick.
The Blues also announced they have signed Faulk to a seven year contract extension worth $45.5 million – a $6.5 million salary cap hit.
“We are excited to add Justin to our core group for the next eight years,” Blues General Manager Doug Armstrong said. “He’s a Top-4 defenseman who averages over 23 minutes a game and we are confident he will be a strong addition to our club.
