Brazeau traded to Wild for Lauko, Matt Khusnutdinov and a 2025 6th Round Pick (BOS)

[whitetape]

Laura alone has made more good plays in his short time back with the B's than Brazeau did all season with them, or certainly after early December.

Lauko is relentless out there, the guy's throttle is permanently stuck on "wide open". Love to see it.

I think the trade was a steal for sure but Lauko needs to clean up a few things like blowing zone early .His job is to make sure he finishes his checks and other team don't score when his line is out there. If he chips in fine but he can't be jumping his own zone early .Twice this week alone the puck landed in Bruins net because of it.

I’m impressed with her too.

husie or hoosier.

Works if you’re from Indiana., I guess.

Don’t know how it plays out in long term. But this deal was excellent. IMO we have a real opportunity to get two bottom six players swapped for one.

Always like Lauko — intangibles are the real deal with him and I suspect he’s perfect for the room.

And I like this Khut’s kid. Quite a bit actually. Early days and you never know but Good One Donny.

Lauko looks like an improved player in his 2nd stint in Boston. Still a 4th line guy, but he's around the puck more and seems to be getting more touches and looks.

Lauko works hard on every shift.
Khusnutdinov is fast, has a lot of skill and has been a great addition.

Thumbs up on this trade.

You should see her Twitter, she has very funny posts..

Brazeau started hot and peter'd out with a scary quickness. I would probably have been totally fine with just a 6th, or just Lauko, or just the new guy.

To be able to roll the dice not once, but thrice, yeah this is a win for Don.
