The Chicago Blackhawks sign TJ Brodie to a two-year contract to boost depth.

Monday night’s two-year contract deal between the Chicago Blackhawks and veteran defenseman TJ Brodie concluded a busy day for the rebuilding team.

The team revealed the agreement, which is for $7.5 million over two years, and it brings forwards Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teravainen, and Pat Maroon, goaltender Laurent Brossoit, and defenseman Alec Martinez to the list of free agent signings.

Brodie recently concluded a massive four-year contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs worth $5 million a year. He expected to receive a wage reduction this summer, and that turned out to be the case at 33 with his numbers starting to drop.

Despite finishing with just one goal and 26 points in the previous season, when the Maple Leafs were the No. 3 seed in the Atlantic Division and made it to the playoffs, Brodie continued to perform well on defense, earning a plus-17 rating. He played 21:43 minutes on average last season and continues to be relied upon for more than 20 minutes a game long into his 30s.

Although Brodie appeared in 78 games with the Maple Leafs in the previous season and 82 in 2021–22, he seems to have strayed far from his career high of 11 goals, which he set with the Calgary Flames in 2014–15.
