Talent Analysis
Brodin is a very mobile defender, who is an excellent skater and a decent passer. His average offensive instincts hold him back from being an elite package, but he is developing quickly.
Future
Brodin is playing his second full season in the Swedish Elite League with defending champion Färjestad. He has proven he can play with the best of his age group at the World Juniors, as well as compete against men. Whether the Wild feel he can play a regular top four shift at the NHL level is open to question, but it's possible he earns a roster spot at next fall's training camp.
