Blues Re-Sign Kyle Brodziak
The Blues announced the re-signing of C Kyle Brodziak on Monday to a two year contract. Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the deal will carry a cap hit of $950,000 per year.
The deal represents a $50,000 raise from 2015-16, Brodziak’s first with St. Louis. Last season, he suited up in 76 regular season games for the Blues, picking up 7 goals and 4 assists while averaging 10:48 per game. He also played in 20 postseason contests, collecting a pair of goals.
Brodziak has played in 697 career NHL games with St. Louis, Minnesota, and Edmonton after being a seventh round pick of the Oilers back in 2003, collecting 239 points (105-134-239). He should once again battle for fourth line and penalty kill ice time with the Blues next season.
