The trade deadline is fast arriving, and the Boston Bruins will have to make a decision with Justin Brazeau, is he destined to be traded, and where to?
The Boston Bruins are inevitably in a position to be sellers this March. That could mean the team will be stripping away the majority of assets which could help the team acquire better players now or in the future.
Retool is the name of the game, and
Justin Brazeau could be the next Bruins player to be shipped out of town.
Who are some NHL teams who could utilize a forward who plays a gritty game, and can lend a hand on special teams?
There are three potential landing spots for the forward:
Brazeau is a bigger winger, who can contribute on both sides of the ice, for a $775K league minimum deal.
This could be seductive to a team like the Jets who need to load up for the playoffs in order to push deeper than just the first round of the playoffs.
Bruins could complement the team's bottom six, well.
The Capitals are another team who are in the playoff hunt and could use another bottom-six forward on the right.
The Kings are another Pacific Division team who are in the playoff race and could use help on the right wing.
He could find himself on the team's fourth line with
Trevor Lewis, and
Tanner Jeannot. But we all know Brazeau is capable of and could be moved up and down the lineup with ease.
