Dudes been watching Pavel Bure highlights in advance of playing Florida and seemed to learn a lot from them! What a BEAST

Seriously, what is this guy's ceiling? Any comparables? I mostly just get to watch the highlights but he always stands out.

The dude's hockey IQ is crazy add in the skill and size and the bruins did well getting this dude! Any added speed makes him very dangerous. Love watching him out there.
I don't know where this kid has been all these years, and what held him back, but he is taken advantage of his opportunity and is not being shy out there trying to make plays...........

An industrial sized fridge?

I mean old school comps, Mike Knuble? He was 6'3 230, 30/30/60 or 30/25/55 kind of guy?

Didn't fight but big body power forward with nice release. Think we'd be pretty stoked if he had that ceiling? Would need to creep into the second line and some PP2 to get there. But if he earns it, he earns it.

That's a great comp that I've thought about myself in addition to a Tim Kerr.
Found money in this kid. Late bloomer. There has to be chip on his shoulder.
For all the crap we give this MGMT for their drafting, their UFA, college signings(Wotherspoon, Clifton, maybe Farinacci, for Ex.) has given us some extremely useful players.

Most of the Bruins forwards can't go from backhand to forehand and then lift the puck over the goalie's pad. This guy can do it on the backhand and with ease.
no other bruin can make that move because they dont have that amazing reach.
brazeau is defferent becasue his hands are damn smooth for a big man.
If brazeau sees a goalie up in the crease like that, that move is a goal every time for him

I’ll throw out Mason Marchment…both undrafted and big-bodied wingers who got their chance late

Didn’t realize he had 50pts this year…thought he was in the 30-40 range but that version would be my ceiling, which is still a heck of a player

idk he’s pretty slow to me. Def not winning most foot races. But he gets to where he needs to because he’s smart. One wouldn’t expect him to be a good skater either, he’s probably 250 lbs. He’s noticeably the biggest guy on the ice whenever he’s out there. Not just tall too, he’s wide. Absolute nightmare for a defenseman

His height, weight and hands are going to keep him in the NHL.

Another guy the Leafs gave up on, too
