Jonas Brodin: our analysis

2025-26 season: 62 GP, 4 G, 14 A, 18 PTS, +19 +/-, 20:17 TOI. WAR 1.4 (43rd of 325) · PAL 88, excellent.

In 2025-26, Jonas Brodin, 33, posts a PAL Rating of 88 out of 100 (excellent), and his WAR of 1.4 ranks 43rd among 325 regulars, in the top quarter.

His strengths: defense (95, among the best in the league), discipline (89, among the best in the league) and possession (80, well above average). On the other hand, shooting (30, below average) holds him back.

Breaking down his WAR (goals above average), his biggest contribution: EV defense (+4.4); his biggest cost: EV offense (-1.6).

A clear step forward: his PAL went from 67 in 2024-25 to 88; his WAR went from 0.8 to 1.4.

Contract-wise, his Value score of 82 (very good contract) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.

Jonas Brodin's story

Growing up in Karlstad, Jonas Brodin initially favoured soccer and stepped away from organized hockey around age nine, only to return to the ice as a teenager. He moved from Nor IK into the youth system of Färjestads BK and made his senior debut in Sweden's top league in 2010 while still a teenager.

Brodin completed the full 2010–11 SHL season as a 17-year-old, recording four assists in 42 games, an output that helped place him among the top European prospects ahead of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Minnesota selected him 10th overall in 2011. He signed a three-year entry-level deal with the Wild on 12 July 2011 but spent another season in Sweden to develop; in his third Färjestad campaign he produced eight assists in 49 regular-season games and added two goals over 11 playoff contests.

When the NHL lockout affected the 2012–13 season, Brodin began in the AHL with the Houston Aeros. A clavicle fracture after a hit on 2 November required surgery and sidelined him for more than a month, but he returned and was recalled by Minnesota on 24 January 2013. He made his NHL debut the next night, registering an assist against Detroit. Paired often with veteran Ryan Suter, Brodin scored his first NHL goal on 14 March and finished his rookie year with two goals and nine assists in 45 games, leading rookies in average ice time and earning a place on the All-Rookie Team.

Brodin's following seasons combined steady defensive minutes with occasional offensive flashes: he overcame a broken cheekbone in 2013–14 to finish with eight goals and 11 assists, signed a six-year, $25 million extension on 12 October 2014, and endured absences such as a mumps outbreak that November and a broken foot in February 2016. Paired with various partners in subsequent years, he kept producing defensively and increased his offensive ceiling to a career-high 28 points in 2019–20. The Wild extended him again on 15 September 2020 with a seven-year, $42 million contract. After a broken thumb from a hit on 8 December 2023, he missed 17 games but returned on 15 January and logged 20 minutes while assisting on a goal in a 5–0 win over the Islanders.

Internationally, Brodin has represented Sweden and was part of the squad that earned bronze at the 2024 World Championship. His game centres on calm puck retrieval, clean first passes out of the defensive zone and reliable, high-minute defensive play.
