Wild Sign Brodziak

It's yet another case of doing the team update earlier in the day and then something happens the same day to make it obsolete. The Wild and Kyle Brodziak have avoided their arbitration hearing by agreeing to a 3-year deal, which will come with an annual cap hit of $1.15 million (according to @Russotrib on Twitter).

The Wild should be looking forward to a reasonable season from Brodziak, who scored 11 goals and 16 assists in 79 games for the Oilers last season. He does seem to fit in to what the team does on the ice, so I would almost expect a slight increase in his production in 2010. He could be a good bargain if he's picked late.
