WINNIPEG, Manitoba -- The Jets started free agency by locking up two of their own players and bringing back another.
Winnipeg agreed to terms on a two-year contract with forward Alexander Burmistrov and one-year deals with defenseman Adam Pardy and forward Matt Halischuk on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old Burmistrov has spent the past two seasons in the Kontinental Hockey League with Kazan Ak-Bars.
He spent his first three professional seasons with the Atlanta/Winnipeg franchise, scoring 23 goals and adding 35 assists in 194 games.
Burmistrov was selected eighth overall in the 2010 draft by Atlanta.
Pardy, who dealt with a shoulder injury in the playoffs, will make $1 million next season.
Halischuk got a two-way deal that pays him $750,000 in the NHL.
Winnipeg re-signed winger Drew Stafford to an $8.7 million, two-year contract Tuesday night.
