-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Blues sign Kyle Brodziak to one-year-deal: The St. Louis Blues have picked up free agent forward Kyle Brodziak, signing him to a one-year deal worth a reported $900,000. Brodziak, 31, spent the last six seasons with the Minnesota Wild, recording a career-high in goals (22) and points (44) with the club in 2011-12. The 2003 seventh-round draft pick has a total of 98 goals and 228 points in 621 games with the Oilers and Wild. The Blues have had a busy second day of free agency, completing a major trade earlier in the day that saw T.J. Oshie dealt to Washington in exchange for Troy Brouwer, goaltender Pheonix Copley and a third-round draft pick in 2016. http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/blues-sign-kyle-brodziak-to-one-year-deal/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibesawesomey Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I was hoping that we would pick him up to shore up the fourth line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 I was hoping that we would pick him up to shore up the fourth line. With Matthias and Richardson not being re-signed, I think that spot will go to Vey. Sedin - Sedin - Vrbata Baertschi - Bonino - Burrows Higgins - Horvat - Hansen Prust - Vey - Dorsett Kenins Things could still change with Higgins or Hansen possibly moving.

ItsMillerTime Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think Horvat could take away that 2nd line role. He has really improved in the playoffs and the last couple of the games in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EternalCanuckFan Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Blues will be a tough team to line-up against. With Brouwer and Brodziak, they got even bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 With Matthias and Richardson not being re-signed, I think that spot will go to Vey. Sedin - Sedin - Vrbata Baertschi - Bonino - Burrows Higgins - Horvat - Hansen Prust - Vey - Dorsett Kenins Things could still change with Higgins or Hansen possibly moving. I hope JB targets a better 4th line centre. Malhotra, Goc or even Slater would be better fits and could take the harder match ups. Which we need. The Sedins can handle they're own, but we don't want to be matching them up against other top lines. Bonino isn't great on faceoffs and is average defensively. Horvat has made huge strides, but I'm not ready to give him the tough assignments yet. I know Manny, Goc and Slater won't be huge additions, but they can at least do what Richardson did and probably won't cost much in either dollars or years.

YEGCanuck Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I think Horvat could take away that 2nd line role. He has really improved in the playoffs and the last couple of the games in the season. Let's just hope Horvat doesn't suffer from a sophomore slump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Decent depth center - not great in the faceoff circle and not particularly physical, but responsible and chips in. Nice deal, but not a guy I'm going to lament the Canucks missed out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I guess the Wild had enough kids stepping up for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
