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

The NHL, the stupidest League ever.
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

Looking like he’ll be a nice depth add for a playoff team

Not really good enough for the top 2 lines.
The 3rd line isn't really good enough in the other direction for him to be effective as he's a pretty much a total complimentary player, needs the right linemates and Bruins don't have the depth to offer him that in Boston. If a team had a couple stronger offensive players to be able to dress them on the 3rd line I think he could compliment a line like that but hard to find a team that deep.
Kinda limits the 4th line as he won't score with two grinders, isn't fast enough to be a forechecking presence, bit of a liability in his own end so you have to watch who the 4th line gets defensively.
