Vegas Golden Knights Linked to 6-Foot-5 Boston Bruins Forward
The Vegas Golden Knights desperately want to bring a Stanley Cup back to "The Strip", and they have been linked to a huge player to solidify their roster.
Boston Bruins president Cam Neely made comments that hinted at retooling across the roster, perhaps depending on the team's performance leading up to the trade deadline.
Right now, as things stand, the Bruins are outside the playoff picture due to a disappointing 5-3 collapse against the Ottawa Senators, that led to a shootout loss. They did manage to win their last game against the Sharks, however.
The Bruins could trade Justin Brazeau
In theory, this could put Justin Brazeau in the crosshairs of being traded as Boston starts to shift to seller mode.
Labeled as a likely trade candidate by TSN among other outlets, the pending unrestricted free agent could find himself on the move should he stay unsigned with the team continuing to falter.
Let's examine a top destination for Brazeau if Boston makes the pending free agent available.
Brazeau could possibly head to Vegas
The Vegas Golden Knights will be hoping to add a bit of much-needed forward depth. Adding a rugged wing presence like Brazeau, who reliably scores secondary points, could fit into those plans.
He would bolster their right-wing depth and potentially upgrade them on the third line over the existing Cole Schwindt. Brazeau's inexpensive $775,000 cap hit further sweetens the attack for the cap-crunched Vegas.
Along with Vegas, the New Jersey Devils and Minnesota Wild have also been mentioned in conjunction with Brazeau, so they could be potential suitors in the event that the Bruins do decide to move on from the big winger.
