Playing career

Brodin participated in the 2006 TV-pucken, playing for Stockholm Röd. He scored one goal and two points but couldn't help the team get promoted to the playoffs.[1] He played the rest of the 2006–07 season in Almtuna IS' J20 team. He moved to Djurgårdens IF the following season, where he played in Djurgården's J18-team during most of the season.

Brodin was promoted to the J20-team for the 2008–09 season. The team made it to the playoffs but was beaten by Brynäs IF in the semifinals.[2] Brodin joined Djurgården's senior team as an extra player for the away game against Luleå HF on 12 February 2009, but did not get any time on the ice.[3] He made his real Elitserien debut against Modo Hockey on 10 November 2009,[4] two days later on 12 November, he scored his first point, an assist to Marcus Krüger who scored the 2–2 goal against Luleå HF.[4] Brodin scored the 2–1 goal in the derby against Södertälje SK on 14 November 2009. It proved to be the game-winning goal and was also his first goal in Elitserien.[4]

Brodin was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the fifth round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft.[5] Brodin signed a two-year extension with Djurgården on 4 March 2011.[6]

On May 3, 2019, Brodin joined HC Fribourg-Gottéron of the National League (NL) on a one-year deal worth CHF 650,000.
