Three Teams Emerge As Landing Spots For This Boston Bruins Forward As Trade Talks Heat Up
The Boston Bruins could retool their lineup according to President Cam Neely. That depends on the team's performance near March, as right now they're 5th in the Atlantic Division. Justin Brazeau could be a trade target for NHL teams.
The Bruins are fighting to stay relevant in the Atlantic after they lost their playoff spot in a 5-3 loss to the Ottawa Senators.
With the Bruins becoming possible sellers at the trade deadline, one forward has been named as a top trade candidate come March.
According to TSN Brazeau could end up at the top of the list.
If Brazeau does end up getting traded, there are three potential landing spots for the Bruins forward.
New Jersey Devils
The Devils could use some extra muscle in the lineup, as they've lost their last four games and eight of the last ten. A struggling franchise needs ancillary help, and the Bruins could have the answer in Brazeau.
Brazeau has been a solid bottom-six addition scoring 20 points( 10 G, 10 A) in 45 games.
He's only a point away from Dawson Mercer, who has 21 in 49 games and could prove to be a significant boost to the lineup.
Vegas Golden Knights
The Vegas Golden Knights could utilize a gritty forward like Brazeau to the lineup, and provide some secondary scoring, and would be a significant upgrade for the team at RW3 instead of Cole Schwindt.
Brazeau has a $775K cap hit, which makes him an appealing addition wherever he lands.
Minnesota Wild
Brazeau could be an anchor in the team's depth, as they look to continue their great season, and he'd provide solid scoring at a discount.
The Bruins might not be able to get a haul, but assets for a retool would be a good start.
