Blues sign Brodziak to 2-year deal

The St. Louis Blues re-signed Kyle Brodziak on a two-year term, the team announced Monday.

He will receive a slight raise in terms of average annual value, earning $1.9 million throughout the life of the contract, Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Brodziak appeared in 76 games for St. Louis last season, chipping in seven goals, including three shorthanded, and 11 points.

The bottom-six center also appeared in 20 postseason games.

Brodziak is the second low-profile free agent the Blues signed last summer able to parlay a modest investment into a multi-year tenure. Scottie Upshall agreed to a one-year agreement last week after making last year's squad on a professional tryout.
