Fresh off of releasing their 2019-20 preseason schedule, the Philadelphia Flyers have made another trade. The team has acquired defenseman Justin Braun (not Strowman) for their 41st pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and a 2020 third round selection. Braun is 32-years-old and has one year left on his contract with a cap hit of 3.8 million dollars.
So, this move is…interesting. Braun posted 16 points (2 Goals, 14 Assists) in 78 games with the Sharks this past season and a mere one assist in 20 playoff games during their playoff run. He set a career high in points during the 2017-18 season with 33 in 81 games but had never reached 30 before or since then.
