Brodziak reunited with former coach: New Minnesota general manager Chuck Fletcher continued his wheeling and dealing in the NHL draft on Saturday, trading the Wild's fourth and fifth-round picks to Edmonton for center Kyle Brodziak. The 25-year-old Brodziak had 27 points in 79 games for the Oilers last season. The 6-foot-2 Alberta native had career highs of 14 goals and 17 assists in 80 games with Edmonton in 2007-08.

Fantasy Analysis

Brodziak played on the fourth line in Edmonton, but the Wild desperately needed to bolster their depth at center. Mikko Koivu was the only player on the team to give them a consistent presence in the face-off circle last season. Brodziak, who played for new Wild coach Todd Richards at Wilkes Barre in the AHL, won 51.6 percent of his faceoffs last season. Fletcher has called draft picks "the lifeblood of an organization," which underscores the impact he thinks Brodziak can make with the Wild next season. Brodziak had 24 goals and 56 points in 62 games for Wilkes-Barre in 2006-07. He knows Fletcher's system and that could go a long way in Brodziak perhaps having his finest NHL season in 2009-10. Consider him a sleeper for deeper formats Draft Day.
