Bruins Trade Justin Brazeau to Wild, Reacquire Jakub Lauko and Add Marat Khusnutdinov

Boston continues its roster overhaul ahead of the NHL trade deadline, sending Brazeau to Minnesota and bringing back former Bruin Lauko alongside Khusnutdinov.

The Boston Bruins traded forward Justin Brazeau to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for centers Jakub Lauko and Marat Khusnutdinov, as well as a 2026 sixth-round draft pick.
Justin Brazeau, 27, recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in 54 games this season and will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.
Jakub Lauko, 24, returns to Boston after being traded to Minnesota in 2024, where he tallied six points in 38 games while dealing with injuries.
Marat Khusnutdinov, 22, contributed seven points in 47 games for the Wild this season before being reassigned to the AHL for cap-related reasons.
The Bruins have been active in trades this week, with speculation growing about potential moves involving captain Brad Marchand as the deadline approaches.
