Scout Grant Sonier praised Brodin, saying: "He's an exceptional puck retrieval and transitional defenseman...He has the ability to process pressure and make an excellent first pass.[7] On 12 July 2011, the Wild signed him to a three-year, entry-level contract but was returned to Sweden for another season to further his development before making the jump to the NHL.[1] Due to the NHL lockout, Brodin and fellow prospects Charlie Coyle, and Mikael Granlund joined the Wild's American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Houston Aeros for the 2012–13 season.[18] Brodin remained with Suter during the Wild's 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs first round series against the Chicago Blackhawks, playing 34 minutes in his Game 1 debut.[18] Wild General Manager Chuck Fletcher publicly criticized the Professional Hockey Writers Association for not nominating Brodin as a Calder Trophy finalist.[20] In his sophomore season, Brodin's defensive play earned him praise from head coach Scotty Bowman, who said: "He doesn’t have a gap.He rejoined the team on 15 January where he played 20 minutes of ice time and assisted on Marcus Foligno's third period goal against the New York Islanders to help secure a 5–0 win.
