Wild sign D Jonas Brodin to a seven-year extension!

The Minnesota Wild have announced they have signed defenseman, Jonas Brodin to a seven-year contract extension.

The deal is worth $42 million dollars, with an AAV of $6 million per season. Wild GM, Bill Guerin mentioned there would be changes to the Wild's roster, but it appears Brodin is there to stay!

Recently, the Wild were in the news for their new internal mandate to sign more players born in Minnesota, so it's a touch ironic the first move after the mandate was signing a European player long term.

Breakdown of Jonas Brodin 7-year extension (all salary, no signing bonuses):
2021-22 $4 M
2022-23 $5 M
2023-24 $8 M
2024-25 $8 M
2025-26 $7.5 M
2026-27 $5.5 M
2027-28 $4 M
(and again, full NMC starting right now through Year 4; then no clause)

The Wild continue to work the phones and gauge the trade market and more changes are expected between now and early October.

For now, let's ensure to give congrats to 'Brods' who has secured the bag!
