Boston Bruins Expected To Trade A Surprising Forward After Contract Talks Have Fallen Out
The Boston Bruins are now expected to trade this surprising forward after an NHL insider has revealed that contract talks have fallen out.
Justin Brazeau is one of the Boston Bruins most notable unrestricted free agents, and has been involved in quite a bit of trade rumours this season.
According to PuckPedia, Justin Brazeau is signed to a $775,000 contract that expires at the end of the year.
Being an unrestricted free agent has caused a lot of contending teams to show interest in him, similar to Trent Frederic.
The 6-foot-6 winger has been super solid for the Bruins scoring a career high in goals with 10, career high in assists with 10 as well, and a career high in points with 20. He also has 81 hits in 51 games for the Boston Bruins this year.
David Pagnotta from The Fourth Period recently gave an update on what is currently going on between the Boston Bruins and Just Brazeau.
According to David Pagnotta, the Boston Bruins were working on a contract extension back in December, but he stated that since then "it's been crickets" between his agent and the Boston Bruins.
David Pagnotta also reported that Brazeau is generating "some interest" from teams around the National Hockey League.
With the NHL trade deadline a little over a month away, hearing that contract talks have fallen out between the two sides likely means that Brazeau will be traded.
The current state the Boston Bruins are in, they don't want to lose anyone for free. If Don Sweeney believes that he won't be able re-sign Brazeau there is a good chance he will be on the move at the NHL trade deadline.
Don Sweeney, and the Boston Bruins are going to be an interesting team to watch come the trade deadline, and it will be interesting to see what happens between Brazeau and the Bruins from here.
