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

[PensandCaps]

Not really. Probably Kunin, Greenway, Donato, Soucy, etc. Not guys we want to lose, but they're all replaceable internally.

i Feel like Kunin would be a bad loss...

 

[Vitto79]

Do they not have to protect Suter and Spurgeon in expansion ?

Trading Dumba eventually or Suter waives ?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Thought teams had to wait until the first day of free agency to announce extensions for guys a year out in this case that would be October 9.

Guess they kept the original july 1 date for contract extensions

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

He will be our 1D within 2 years just watch. He’s so so good

 

[AKL]

Not really. Probably Kunin, Greenway, Donato, Soucy, etc. Not guys we want to lose, but they're all replaceable internally.

I would throw a 3rd to Seattle for them to take Greenway

 

[IceBoxHockey]

Career high of 25 points before this year. And you're cool with giving him term and basically the highest point of his value in cap. Just an awful over pay especially with the flat cap.

He has never been relied upon to produce points but rather his defensive ability which he is one of the best in the game at. If he was ever given PP time his point totals would surely go up but with Suter in front of him that’s hard to get.

It’s a fair contract for what he brings.

He doesn't play PP though. ~20 pts at ES is solid production.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Its clear how many people havent truly watched Brods play day in and day out. Capping him at #3D is laughable.

If Suter is not on the ice -- there is only one other player Id want going against the other teams' top line and thats Jonas. Solid deal all in all.

 

[Hunter368]

At first I thought it was a bit of an overpay, but then remembered those are 7 yrs of UFA which are more expensive. Excellent defensive guy.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

so I would imagine this probably means Dumba is on the way out?

 

[missionAvs]

Meh . Not great not terrible.

 

[Gurglesons]

How do you figure it's an overpay? He's already making $4.2 million per now. For what he brings a $1.8 million raise is about right.

Because he just hit a career high of 28 (33 if you want to pace it) and is being paid top pairing D minutes.

 

[Gurglesons]

He doesn't play PP though. ~20 pts at ES is solid production.

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

 

[Archijerej]

Sad day for this Habs fan.

 

[BB88]

D-man every team would love to have on their top4.

 

[Gurglesons]

He has never been relied upon to produce points but rather his defensive ability which he is one of the best in the game at.

It’s a fair contract for what he brings.

Guarantee this contract looks awful in two years. Classic Vlasic.

 

[Captain Mountain]

Sad day for this Habs fan.

I like Brodin, but he's not the best fit for Montreal. I'll be happy to put to rest all the Domi/Danault to Minny proposals.

 

[AKL]

Because he just hit a career high of 28 (33 if you want to pace it) and is being paid top pairing D minutes.

He's one of the best shutdown defenseman in the league. 7x5.5 would have been more comfortable, but it's hardly worth griping over 500k.

You're just in here trying to stir shit up and it's embarrassing for you.

 

[IceBoxHockey]

Guarantee this contract looks awful in two years.

I guarentee you haven’t watched play and are basing your opinion on stat watching only. Most people who have watched him know he’s worth it.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Guarantee this contract looks awful in two years. Classic Vlasic.

Vlasic is 6 years older but yeah sure other than that

 

[Mickey Marner]

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

Other defenseman making 6AAV

• Myers
• Edler
• Boychuk
• E. Johnson
• Dumba

6 million ain't what it used to be.

 

[IceBoxHockey]

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

It buys 7 years of UFA time. How many top pairing defenseman are getting 6 mil AAV on the open market? Not many. Just go back and look at what Defensman got last free agency.

 

[Bazeek]

I would throw a 3rd to Seattle for them to take Greenway

Yeah maybe. I'd prefer to keep Kunin if we can, but overall it's not going to be the end of the world if he's the guy. Plus you never know how all this looks by June; maybe Greenway puts up 60 points or something stupid.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

That looks 1,000,000$ too steep, but whatever.

 

[Willy Stylez]

Seems fair. One more year at that AAV that I would guess, Wild should be fine with that either way.
