T.J. Brodie finds a new Original 6 home

Once it became clear that he wouldn't return with the Toronto Maple Leafs, defenseman T.J. Brodie began assessing his options, and he's found his new home.

Joining his second Original 6 squad, he becomes the latest addition for the Chicago Blackhawks, who have signed a bevy of new players on the opening day of the NHL free agency period: 

In 908 career NHL games with the Leafs and Calgary Flames, Brodie has scored a total of 56 goals with 292 assists for 322 points. He's also added five goals and 17 assists in 56 career playoff games.
