Brown agreed to terms on a one-year deal with IF Bjorkloven (Sweden) on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown spent the entire 2019-20 campaign in the minors with AHL Iowa and was never able to force his way into the Minnesota lineup. In his 62 minor-league outings, the 30-year-old winger registered nine goals and 13 helpers. This could mark the end of Brown's NHL career. If so, he would retire having logged 365 games for the Lightning, Ducks and Wild, garnering 23 goals and 49 assists.

Brown was designated for waivers by the Wild on Monday for the purpose of reassignment, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
After appearing in 56 outings for Minnesota last season, in which he tallied three goals and five helpers, Brown may be forced to begin the year in the minors. The 29- year-old has 365 games of NHL experience under his belt, which could persuade another team to try snatching him up. Barring a claim, the Minnesota native will link up with AHL Iowa for the start of the minor-league campaign.

Brown (Illness) had three goals and eight points while averaging 9:10 of ice time in 56 games this season.
EDGE Analysis
Unfortunately, Brown's season came to an abrupt end after he missed Saturday's clash against Dallas due to an illness. Even in a limited role, eight points is Brown's highest output for a season since he had 22 in the 2015-16 campaign. The 28-year-old will be on the second year of a two-year contract he signed with the Wild next campaign, but it's tough to see him have any legitimate fantasy value without a more prominent role.

Brown is dealing with an illness and will miss Saturday's road game against the Stars, Sarah McLellan of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
This effectively ends Brown's 2018-19 campaign, with the speedy and spirited grinder finishing with three goals and eight points through 56 games. There are plenty of guys in the NHL that hold real significance to their own club but barely move the needle in fantasy hockey -- Brown neatly fits that description.

Brown has three points while averaging 10:06 of ice time in 14 March games.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has seen no power-play time this campaign, so the fact that he has seven points in 53 games is decent for the winger. The 28-year-old has made his presence felt on the defensive side this season, racking up 94 hits and 13 blocks. With a limited role, Brown shouldn't be anywhere near fantasy lineups.

Brown scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 6-2 loss to the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
It tells you how the night went for Minnesota that the team's fourth line has to carry the scoring load. Brown had gone nine games without hitting the scoresheet since his recall to the NHL, and with only two goals and six points through 44 games on the season for the Wild, a repeat performance seems highly unlikely any time soon.

The Wild summoned Brown from AHL Iowa on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brown will join a Wild squad that has run with 11 forwards and seven defensemen of late to preserve Charlie Coyle's health in advance of trading him. He's now out the door, paving the way for Brown to join the club and serve as the team's 12th forward. He's expected to draw in Thursday and should slot in to a bottom-six role.

The Wild waived Brown on Sunday, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown has been a healthy scratch in 13 of the last 22 games and has just four points in 35 contests this season. The Wild only have 11 healthy forwards at the time of this report, but Pontus Aberg (lower body) could return for Tuesday's game versus the Sabres. Still, the Wild are expected to recall a player or two from AHL Wild, which is where Brown will land if he clears waivers.
