Sharks Trade Defenseman Justin Braun to Flyers, Acquire Two Draft Picks

The Sharks kept retooling their lineup for the future on Tuesday as the team traded defenseman Justin Braun to the Philadelphia Flyers.

In return, San Jose acquired a second-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in the 2020 draft.

Braun has spent his entire professional career playing for the Sharks, scoring 154 total points (24 goals, 130 assists) and a plus-24 in 607 games played. He tallied 16 points (2 goals, 14 assists) in 78 games played in the 2018-19 season.

Braun has one year left on his current contract before hitting free agency. The trade increases the Sharks' projected cap space by $3.8 million, according to CapFriendly.
