Braun announced his retirement Monday following 13 NHL seasons.

EDGE Analysis

Braun compiled 34 goals, 199 points, 317 PIM, 1,314 blocked shots and 1,080 hits in 842 regular-season games with the Sharks, Rangers and Flyers. The 36-year-old blueliner picked up two assists and 42 shots on goal in 51 appearances for Philadelphia during the 2022-23 campaign.

Braun picked up an assist during Saturday's loss to the Penguins.

EDGE Analysis

The assist marks Braun's second point of the campaign. He has found himself in the press box frequently, limiting him to 44 games played. He has 19 PIM, 44 hits, and 41 blocks this season.

Braun has been a healthy scratch for the past 12 games.

EDGE Analysis

Braun has made 33 appearances this season, failing to register a single point. Even if he were to return to the Flyers lineup, he should be kept off fantasy rosters.

Braun has extended his point drought to 25 games.

EDGE Analysis

Braun has played in 25 contests for the Flyers this season, failing to provide any goals or assists. He has 17 PIM, 28 hits, and 28 blocks, but his lack of offensive production mitigates his value in peripheral categories.

Braun has yet to find the scoresheet through 10 games this season.

EDGE Analysis

Braun isn't a high point producer, but he did pot 18 points in 69 games between the Flyers and New York Rangers last season. Braun has 11 hits, 11 blocks, and nine PIM to chip in towards some peripheral categories, but otherwise he isn't providing much fantasy value.

Braun signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Flyers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Braun spent parts of the last three seasons with the Flyers before he was shipped to the Rangers in a deadline deal last March. He's back in Philadelphia now, where he'll likely fill a bottom-four role. He had 18 points in 69 contests last season.

Braun had one hit and a plus-1 rating in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Braun was solid in his 17:45 of ice time, all at even strength. He has rotated with Patrik Nemeth on the third pair alongside rookie Braden Schneider since coming over in a trade with the Flyers. Braun has one goal and one assist in seven appearances for the Rangers.

Braun was traded by the Flyers to the Rangers on Monday in exchange for a 2023 third-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 35-year-old will bring a steadying veteran presence to the Blueshirts' back end. Braun's rate of production of 16 points should increase for a Rangers team that's far superior to the struggling Flyers this year, and his physicality (79 hits, 114 blocks) should be plenty appreciated in front of emerging star netminder Igor Shesterkin.

Braun is being held out of the lineup Sunday against the Islanders due to upcoming trade deadline Monday, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

As such, there's a high likelihood the 35-year-old will be traded in the next day. Braun's 16 points, 36 PIM, 79 hits and 114 blocked shots this season have been helpful at times in DFS formats and deeper leagues.

Braun was on board for an assist and seven blocked shots in Friday's 3-1 loss to the Senators.

EDGE Analysis

Braun has now blocked seven shots in three different games this season, and he continues to post respectable offensive numbers for a third-pairing defenseman who doesn't see the power play. The 35-year-old has recorded five goals and 11 assists through 61 contests.
