NHL Rumors: Flyers Defenseman Finished in Philadelphia
According to Darren Dreger of TSN, expect to see Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Justin Braun traded on Monday as the team is engaged with a number of teams in conversations.
Braun is a veteran who loves to play the game tough, blocking shots and laying hits all over the ice. He's 35 years old with 100 games of Stanley Cup playoff experience under his belt. Braun won't cost a ton to acquire and likely will be moved for a second-round pick or a third-rounder plus a prospect.
Justin Braun is number 3 on @TSNHockey's #TradeCentre Trade Bait list. According to their broadcast there are 5-6 teams interested.

I previously thought Justin Braun #BringItToBroad would be on the #NHLBruins at the end of the #NHLTradeDeadline. The possibility of a Forbort-Reilly pairing makes me think they will aim more for a depth piece (similar to Pittsburgh’s acquisition of Beaulieu for a 7th round pick)

The Flyers have heard from the Boston Bruins, St Louis Blues, Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers in regards to Braun's price tag. Philadelphia is expected to stay busy as the trade deadline approaches as they've already dealt their captain Claude Giroux to the Florida Panthers.
Not only will Braun be moved, expect to see goaltender Martin Jones moved before Monday evening.
