Justin Braun, 32, is a right-shooting defender known for his defensive abilities. Originally drafted 201st overall by the Sharks in 2007, Braun has spent his entire 9 year NHL career with the Californian club.
In 607 career NHL games, the Minnesota native has recorded 24 goals and 130 assists for 154 points. During this span, Braun has averaged a 50.2 CF%, a 99.7 PDO rating and 19:56 TOI. Braun has a fitting defensive reputation, as he starts 56.8% of his shifts in the defensive zone.
Despite his career-long reputation of solid defensive play, which is a major need of the Flyers, Braun is a risky acquisition from Philly’s point of view.
