Boston Sends Justin Brazeau to Minnesota in Exchange for 2025 4th Round Pick

[Coffee]

Don't think he is going to extend, can a deal like this be made?


Let me know your thoughts,

thanks

He’s worth more than that. Great finisher around the net, doesn’t do much more than that but he does it very well and isn’t a negative in any other areas really

Not sure he has enough "bite" for Guerin. He likes his guys to be chewing roofing nails.

But he is big enough for Guerin to see him even when Billy is deep in his cups.

He is worth more than that, but I mean what’s the plan with him? I thought he would be signed by now

Not sure Billy is going to give up much for a 6'6" player that plays like a 5'6" player. I exagerate but Brazeau is pretty meh.

Come on Clarkey, it’s a reasonable ask

Bold to assume that there is any kind of plan in Boston right now. Sweeney is basically waiting to see if team is a playoff team before he makes any changes, but the paradox is that they likely won’t make the playoffs without changes now, the deadline will be too late.

Wrong team to target in Minny. He really is not Billy's type of player. I can see a team chucking a 4th at Boston for him because of his size. I don't wish him nothing but the best but he is not a fit stylewise with Minny.

He is not even worth that. He is molasses slow and can't play.

 

[shelbysdad]

Can we have a 3rd ?

 

[The don godfather]

4th round pick.

 

[BHD]

Brazeau is 27... Yeah, the Bruins might as well trade him futures.

 

[Michoulicious]

Who?

Surprisingly despite being advertised as non physical is one of the few Bruins to hit heavy using his size.

A good Bruin but if they will not extend him he should be traded. Imagine it will be more than a 4th however.

Know nothing about this guy but what I've read here and I have no interest in knowing more after this

 

[zaYG]

Zero interest in trading him for a 4th. Just re-sign him and see what you get out of him. If he can get back to being consistent then he’s a stud.

I do tend to use hyperbole, but Brazeau is very slow and not at all physical.

 

[quietbruinfan]

The Wild already have the decent NHL version of this guy in Freddy Gaudreau.

 

[Treb]

Who?

Big undrafted 27 years old winger who currently has more points than Newhook, Anderson and Dvorak.

I remember people were interested years back when he was UDFA.

 

[shelbysdad]

The title got me excited...
He is my top pick to be traded in Bruins trade deadline contest

Really? Freddy is a good skating, moderately sized, defensive C with good positional awareness. Flashes some skill on occasion. Not much of a hitter or grinder.

As far as the proposal, I think it is fair. Would rather have Brazeau than Shore, Gaunce, Jones, or the like playing.

I don't think he skates that well, better than the sluggish Brazzeau, who stinks. He can't keep up with the play.

 

[The Devilish Buffoon]

Brazeau can be a useful guy in 5-8 minutes in the playoffs imo. When he is using his size along the boards and making simple plays he can make a legitimate impact. 4th and a tweener sounds about right as a return.
