Proposal: Boston sends Justin Brazeau to Minnesota in exchange for 2025 4th-round pick

[BruinLVGA]

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


Let me know your thoughts,

thanks

It’s a bit of a tuna casserole return.

I think they should hold out for a 3rd or re-sign him. He’s a beast down low and in front of the net. We can always use that.

 

[57special]

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

Gaudreau doesn't skate well, or Brazeau?

Agreed. A few fans in this are extremely underrating Brazeau. He is a complementary player but has size and skill combination for a 3rd line and net front presence on a PP.

I'd prefer he return but a 3rd would be reasonable.

Gaudreau is adequate, while Brazeau is somewhere between a sloth and a slug.

Brazeau is polarizing. He is very good around the net as a passer, shot tipper and goal scorer. No reason to think he wouldn’t score 20+20 in a full time third line gig. He has terrible acceleration and agility. On the right team, his detriments could be overlooked, but it’s hard on a team like Boston that has rough skating up and down the lineup.

Too bad he isnt more physical. Hes even bigger than Pat Maroon and he cant be a worse skater. Maroon has 3 cups!

I'd send a 3rd for him, but I've wanted the Habs to go for him since he signed his 2 year AHL deal with the Marlies.

I'd also look at John Beecher from the Bruins.

Beecher and Braz for a 2d, 4th ?

20-20 is very generous. I would say 15-15 and that's high for assists. You do summarize the argument nicely though.

 

[Tbaybruin]

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

Not slow. Gets to where he needs to be. Not fast but molasses is an exaggeration

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Beecher and Braz for a 2d, 4th ?

I'd do that. I know others probably wouldn't, but I'd do it.

Pezzetta would probably be sent the other way (contract purposes, can be buried in the AHL and his contract is up at the end of the year)

 

[Number8]

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

Because he’s not been signed and you don’t know the plan for him you propose shipping him out for a return that you state yourself is too low????

I don’t know what plan is for Frederick, either. Freddie for a 6th? Who says no?

Hard to see a fit, we have plethora of bottom 6ers and have a couple of rookies who could need playing time in ohgren and yurov.
