Confirmed Signing with Link: [MIN] Wild Sign Jonas Brodin to Extension (7 year, $6M AAV)

[Bazeek]

If you needed to keep Dumba, can't you guys just trade Suter to clear cap for Dumba? Suter will be nearing 40 by then and would be expendable.

Suter and Spurgeon both have full NMCs.

he wont waive. also wild have no cap issues. people who keep saying wild need to trade dumba because of expansion don't factor in wild can do 4 & 4. So this is Guerin's power to hold over other GM's

 

[Dickie Dunn]

Wow! Huge overpayment for a guy who brings next to nothing to the table on offence.

You're going to have to find a new shtick, this has been taken.

 

[57special]

Great! Very fair. Just surprised they didn't go for the full 8 years. Obviously a lot of boxscore scouts chiming in who don't have a clue what JB brings to a team. Oh, and BTW, he had more ES points than Spurgeon or Dumba last year. I have seen him described as a shot blocking, physical Dman by some HFB members.

You'd be hard pressed to find a single Wild fan who will not like this deal....except Jesus Brodin, who is probably raging that he didn't get a 13 year deal...screw the cap recapture.

 

[Canadian Game]

6 mil x 7 years for a primarily defensive defenseman is a terrible deal.

Defencemen shouldn’t be rewarded for doing the main part of their job (defending)? Lol

 

[Bruce Granville]

Price for Dumba?

Nah, Price is overpaid.
There are enough other G to choose from.

 

[Roasted Nuts]

Suter and Spurgeon both have full NMCs.

Feel the pain as a Sharks fan. On our team, we have Vlasic (8 million?) who's signed to a NTC too. At least Suter and Spurgeon are still effective d-men.

8 years would have brought him above 35 for the next contract.

 

[Peter Griffin]

I’d rather have Brodin at $6M than Tyler Myers.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Defencemen shouldn’t be rewarded for doing the main part of their job (defending) better than almost everyone else in the league? Lol

If you add the full context of his defensive play, yes they should.

 

[LeafChief]

Seems like a fair deal to me. Brodin is quite solid. 6 million AAV and he'll be 33 when it's done.

Much smarter than paying Myers 6 million AAV in my opinion.

Well, since my guess you like the Leafs, you should not give players big contract was main job is to score and does not when it matters.
So, you should now, defending is not that easy...

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I’d rather have Brodin at $6M than Tyler Myers.

Who wouldn't?

 

[Peter Griffin]

Who wouldn't?

Nobody. I’m just saying for anyone saying this is an overpayment, it really isn’t.

 

[57special]

Walks into a thread on Jonas Brodin , one of the best defensive Dmen in the league, and find endless discussion about his offense...

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

$5m x 7 for Girard though...

Congratulations on paying your RFA $1M less than a significantly superior UFA. This truly is an achievement worth gloating over.

 

[DaPhazz]

Sure. Solid production. He just got top pairing D money and term.

Come on now, 6mil is not top pairing D money

 

[Legegendsofthenorth]

Defencemen shouldn’t be rewarded for doing the main part of their job (defending)? Lol

Hahahaha....this is funny!!! Well stated!

 

[PuckInTheNards]

YES! Yes! Yes! Yes! I love this signing. Top 4 is locked up.

Value is only driven by points my friend.....LOL

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Great signing for the Wild.

 

[DaPhazz]

MTL is about to overpay for Edmundson, i’m SURE any fan would take Brodin at 6 over Edmundson at 5

Where the hell is that coming from

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Jesus Christ what an overpay.

Very bad take. Do you even watch Brodin play? And no, wearing a blindfold over your eyes doesn't count as watching him.

 

[Our Lady Peace]

Holy smokes even though I'm a neutral fan, I'm pulling my hair out at some of these flaming hot takes on Brodin. Please tune into a handful of Wild games, that should be enough to tell you this contract is and will be extremely fruitful for them. Stud defensive defenseman and solid in transition.

Hughes makes only 916k and scored 53 points...
