Daily News | Reports: Flyers sign enforcer Nic Deslauriers, bring back defenseman Justin Braun on Day 1 of free agency
Now, Braun has returned to fill the hole he left behind when he was traded, joining the Flyers on a 1-year, $1.75 million contract. He is coming back to a similar locker room but with a different coach, with John Tortorella now at the helm.
With five goals and 11 assists in 61 games, Braun, normally regarded as a stay-at-home defenseman, posted a career-high in goals last season. Despite the Flyers’ well-documented struggles, he finished with a plus/minus of plus-three and was one of the team’s most reliable players before being dealt to New York on deadline day.
Deslauriers has signed a 4-year, $7 million contract and adds another veteran presence to the Flyers locker room. At 31 years old, the rugged winger has played nine NHL seasons and 506 games split between the Montreal Canadians, Buffalo Sabres, Anaheim Ducks, and Minnesota Wild. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Deslauriers’ game is predicated on physicality, as he ranked in the top 10 in the league in hits , penalty minutes , and fighting majors . A prototypical John Tortorella-type player, Deslauriers gets in on the forecheck and throws his big body around, something Tortorella and general manager Chuck Fletcher want to see more of the Flyers this season.
