@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.

Justin Braun's a really good defensemen. Doesn't get the attention with all the star D San Jose has. 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?

I have a feeling Ghost is gone for a winger. Toronto perhaps.

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.

Don't know too much about him. But interesting read from 2018 https://lastwordonhockey.com/2018/03/22/san-jose-sharks-justin-braun-deserves-spotlight/

 

Good article. Look at that picture of him at the bottom, look at his top (L) hand - that, my friends, is how you pass a puck.

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.

 

 

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.
