Confirmed Trade: [SJS/PHI] Sharks trade RD Justin Braun to the Flyers for 2019 2nd and 2020 3rd

Braun doesn't win you a playoff series. He probably doesn't even win you a period.

Real deal Expert.... I can always tell.

Steep price for 1 year of UFA for someone of Brain's caliber. I don't get it from Philly's POV at all.

We aren't looking for him to win a playoff series, we aren't looking at him to win a game. He and the 19 other players, that's who we want to win a game. Not just one guy.

No? Well maybe you should watch MacDonald play.

Right handed D are expensive. You dont get alot of good defensive RHD. I dont see this as Philly overpaying at all because there wasnt really any other options like Braun for cheaper.

2nd and a 3rd the new wave.

2nd and a 3rd for Justin Braun.
2nd and a 3rd for Nikita Gusev.

I think the arguement was defensive cores win championships. Pittsburg has been like the only team in in a long time to even challenge that rule.

Wow. Braun sucks. He's been the weak link on that Sharks team for years.

It took 6 weeks to come up with that?

Right....because it makes tons of sense to compare those 2 trades.

 

[themelkman]

Braun doesn’t suck. He only sucks if you have no idea how hockey is played and can only look at point totals

That's honestly reassuring to hear.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

That's honestly reassuring to hear.

There are times he's frustrating to watch, but more often than not he's a solid player. He does a lot of work in front of the net and took literally thousands of hits for Vlasic when the puck was dumped in his corner. He's a soldier and I hope he does well in Philly.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Right....because it makes tons of sense to compare those 2 trades.

i think he was just stating that those trades had a 2nd and 3rd dished out

that the trend is, get player X for 2nd and 3rd

that's all he said, nothing more nothing less

why do people need explaining for stufffffff???

 

[zeke]

Braun is the perfect McDonald replacement, really.

not saying that's a good or bad thing, but there's not much difference between them.

6 seconds actually. Only just saw this thread now.

 

[SenzZen]

Lloyd Braun

 

[fasterthanlight]

Wait are flyers fans worried about braun? He's a great defenseman, you'll be happy with him as, say a number 4

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Lloyd Braun

Serenity now.... a 2nd and a 3rd later.

I’ve made some pro-Braun comments in here, but let me be crystal clear: Gusev is much more likely to win you playoff rounds than Braun is.

Skilled players don’t help you win in the playoffs?

So? Is he more likely to be out of the league after a couple seasons than Braun? Maybe. But he is also more likely to be a game changer and win you playoff rounds, too.

Braun doesn't win you a playoff series. He probably doesn't even win you a period.

Yea I mean I’d still rather have Gusev over Braun but that’s just bc of the potential. That said, you can’t really give examples like Panarin. There are many examples of this failing miserably. The flyers have gone the “best player not in the NHL route”. Didn’t work at all.

And I think the playoffs have shown year after year that guys like Braun win you rounds. It goes without saying, but you have guys like ghost and sanhiem around him. But you still need that kind of D. Panarin was great and all but he got cbus one playoff round. Even when he was with the hawks, you have to like their D as the reason they won. Tampa still can’t win - who do they get luke schenn.

Hmmm ... Blues could use a LD prospect like Morin. What would the Flyers want in return?

Fletcher has been quoted that the coaching staff is really interested and excited at what Morin can bring. I think he will be given a good shot by the end of the season. He seemed like he was a sure bet to make the team before he got sent down and hurt. I remember that wasn’t even a topic of discussion on here at the time. It was assumed given how great he looked. Hakstol f***ed that up too. He’s not worth much in a trade. The flyers don’t need more picks or prospects. They don’t really need much at all. Better for them to see what Morin is. He would be a monster to play against in a few years. Everyone is rooting for him.

Braun, Gusev, Shaw, Burakovsky, Fox
sheesh

what? was just talking about the "2nd and 3rd rounder" being popular to trade for a player these days is all.
