Brodziak joined the Blues as a free agent last summer and played in 76 games with St. Louis during the 2015-16 season, scoring seven goals and four assists (11 points). Three of his goals came while shorthanded, and four of his goals were game-winners. In 20 playoff games last season, Brodziak scored two goals - one shorthanded and another game-winner.
The 32-year-old native of St. Paul, Alberta, Canada would have become a free agent if not signed by July 1. In 11 seasons and 697 career regular season games with the Edmonton Oilers, Minnesota Wild and the Blues, Brodziak has scored 105 goals and 134 assists (239 points).
The Blues have made qualifying offers to eight restricted free agents:
Jaden Schwartz
Magnus Paajarvi

Jordan Binnington

Submitting a qualifying offer means the Blues will retain negotiating rights with each player when free agency opens on July 1. Had the Blues not submitted qualifying offers, the players would have become unrestricted free agents.
