Player Discussion Justin Brazeau

[dredeye]

I didn't realize he's a UFA at seasons end. Hope we lock him up.

Still very early in his NHL career but after 39 games in the league, his PPG totals now equals out to

82 games: 21 goals / 34 points / 141 hits

Pretty good stuff so far from big 55.

Some Hockey News love...

In addition, Brazeau has been trending in the right direction as of late, posting two points in his last three games. He also has six points in his last 11 games, so he has been providing Boston with decent offensive production after a bit of a shaky start to the year.

Hope they lock him up sooner rather than later.

He is more of a priority than Geekie/Frederic.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

He makes so many smart plays.

That stands out on this team.

100% - I think people expected him to be this 6'6'' bruiser, but he uses his body to get leverage. He's got good hands. Yes, lacks footspeed but his hockey smarts make up for it.

He's a really slick passer and he gets his shot off in a hurry too. Lots to like with this guy!

I see more passengers are getting on the Brazeau train.

All aboard!!!!

Like to see him carry the puck more and use his big frame

Him and Zadorov both. Sometimes you'll see Zadorov pick the puck up and skate into the zone so freely because being a 6'6'' 250 pound destroyer, players just let it happen.

His game reminds me a lot of JVR but without the 1st round pick expectations.

 

[TD Charlie]

A bigger forward that isn’t a killer out there, but actually uses the size advantage quite well.

On a roster that has been full of gentle giants for too long, this is a very nice change of pace
