AJgoal Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 https://twitter.com/NHLFlyers/status/1141010222603018240 @NHLFlyers: BREAKING: The #Flyers have acquired defenseman Justin Braun from San Jose in exchange for a second-round pick in this year's draft (41st overall) and third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft. My initial thought is yikes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 HHHHhhhhhhmmmmmm.... ...so once they get Ivan and Sanheim inked it will give them 8 D men. Yep someone is about to be dealt for a forward piece.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Philly is about to melt down soon.... ...so no 2nd or 5th at the upcoming draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertaflyer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Justin Braun's a really good defensemen. Doesn't get the attention with all the star D San Jose has. I like this trade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this trade. On the surface I do too. They just added another righty and 600 games of experience and didn't give up a roster player. So wonder which guy plays where?

OccamsRazor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Provorov/Niskanen Sanheim/Braun Ghost/Myers Morin/Hagg That is impressive I say even if it's only on paper. But I think Hagg or someone gets dealt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctid Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 If ghost is traded: Provo braun Sanheim niskanen Morin/haag myers If ghost stays: Provo ghost Sanheim braun Niskanen myers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brelic Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm guessing that means he's done upgrading the defense? Provorov/Niskanen Sanheim/Braun Hagg or Ghost/Myers Morin and Schmaltz as 7th/8th Someone on D will be dealt for a forward or goalie, I'd say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OccamsRazor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 A solid two way type who can help either Ivan or Sanheim. Only on the books for next year for 3.8 mill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FD19372 Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2019 Good move. Out goes Gudas and MacDonald. In comes Braun and Niskanen. I would say that's an upgrade and they don't get that much older. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at that picture of him at the bottom, look at his top (L) hand - that, my friends, is how you pass a puck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Podein25 Posted June 18, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2019 At least there is a theme to Fletch's moves: he's creating a mobile, puck-moving D and building out from there. Good. How you win. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brelic Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Another very under-the-radar move that didn't cost much. I don't know much about Braun, but the consensus seems to be very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Braun, but the consensus seems to be very good. Early critics are fixating on the -14 last year, but he's a career plus player. Plus, you can chalk half or most of those minuses last year to horrific goaltending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I like this better than a Subban trade. Wonder which forward they are targeting? Anyone's guess. Certainly are not sitting back and waiting...somewhere Hextall is smashing stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
