I'm saying the Sharks won it, but barely. Really, only because SJ was in a TOUGH spot and Fletcher definitely helped them out with the #41 pick this year. PHI has the cap to take him for 1 year...and really they'll just let him go next year...or flip him @ the TDL if for some reason they don't play well next year. It allows for 2 vets to roll of the books each of the next 2 years giving room to sign other d prospects. He's a pretty good Dman. Just because he doesn't score goals doesn't mean he he can't eat up 20 min a game.

Seriously Fletcher...WTF are you doing? You give up a 2nd and a 3rd to a cap strapped team for a guy with 1 year left on his contract...are you fking mental?

Looks like an overpayment by Philly. The MacDonald buyout must have had something to do with this though. I didn't think they needed the cap space when they bought out AMac but I had a feeling they were looking to add to their roster and might eventually need the cap space.
For the Sharks, however, I think it's a good deal. Braun is a good defenseman but this is a cap deal for them. And also, they get a good return back. I don't think he's worth a 2nd+3rd.
Also, am I the only one who has noticed that the Flyers have basically made 3 trades and a buyout this offseason? One of the trades was during the SCF but still basically the offseason because the Flyers were out.
It’s understandable why he had a low plus minus because he was on Ottawa This Guy was on the 6th best Team in the League and has still a -14
I mean OTT did make it to the finals once and his +/- isn't any good with SJ either. If you don't think Braun is any good...ok, but it's not because of his +/-. I'll even agree that extreme outliers for +/- can tell a broader vague picture, but it's such a subjective stat. I don't think it has any bearing here. Just 1 mans opinion.
