Player Discussion Justin Brazeau

[Dr Hook]

Braz is wasted on the 4th line. It's about like calling up a skilled guy from Providence and sticking him on the 4th line. That's the 1980s development model.

Yep, 3rd line PP specialist is what he needs to be

He's wasted, and he makes the 4 th line worse because it eliminates the speed factor the line has

8th on the team in hits in limited ice team.

Too slow to backcheck is simply a foolish comment.

I compare him to Nick Paul of TBL.
Both are big guys.Hard workers. May not be the most nimble on their feet but positions themselves well.

Brazeau averages maybe 10 to maybe 12 minutes a game.
10g 10a for 20 pts. He also has to contend with mostly the unimaginative Frederic as a centerman.

Paul averages 18 -20 minutes a game and 14 g 14a for 28 pts.

Oh and Paul also makes 3.1 million a year.
JB....775,000.00 a year

With a bit more ice time and a little bit more talent at center Braz can put up much larger numbers

I say trade him for the best pick you can get while his value is apparently high.

Please God, no extension, but Brazeau's lackluster play seems to be taking care of that.

You'll get like a 4th or a 3rd maybe - I think on an offense that is actually well built he would be worth a lot more to us on the 3rd line, and I doubt his contract is going to be that much either
