Kyle Brodziak is one of few St. Louis Blues players who had an impressive offensive season in 2017-18. After scoring 10 goals and 33 points mostly on the team’s fourth line, the 34-year-old Brodziak is now a man looking for a new contract. Will he find one in St. Louis?
Despite his strong season, Brodziak finds himself in a tough position. At the twilight of his career, he’s ideally looking for a final contract to close out his time in the NHL. Meanwhile, the league is moving more and more towards younger and faster players. As an aging fourth-line veteran who skated on a team that missed the playoffs, the market for a player like Brodziak may not be very large despite his manageable hit against the salary cap.
