Daily News | In the final year of his contract, the Flyers’ Justin Braun isn’t focused on the trade deadline: ‘That’s everyday life in the NHL’
With the NHL trade deadline just a month away, the Flyers’ lack of success this season makes them poised to be sellers by March 21. While most of the Flyers’ trade deadline attention across the league has been focused on the future of captain Claude Giroux, players like 35-year-old defenseman Justin Braun, who also is in the final year of his contract, could be moved over the next few weeks, too.
While defenseman Ryan Ellis, an offseason trade acquisition, has been out with a lower-body injury for all but four games Braun has stepped up from the third defensive pairing to play on the top pairing with Ivan Provorov. He is averaging 20 minutes of ice time, which is his most since joining the Flyers in the 2019-20 season.
Braun is primarily known for being defensive-minded, but he’s contributed to the offense this season and, with four even-strength goals, is tied for the lead among Flyers defensemen with Provorov and Travis Sanheim. Although the team has fallen out of playoff contention, Braun views his time in Philadelphia to this point positively.
Interim coach Mike Yeo said he would make a decision on who would stay in the lineup on the third pairing based on past performance. Since the All-Star break, Seeler has registered a goal, two assists, seven blocks, and has a plus-1 rating. Above all else, Yeo has been impressed with Seeler’s competitive level.
“I heard he played a real strong game,” Yeo said. “But I don’t think it’s going to take him one or two games to get going here. It’s a good sign, it’s a good step, and hopefully he can keep playing here because he could be a real good player for our organization.”
