Florida wants to trade him already?

 

[KnockHobbler]

Florida, what you doing

I'm pretty sure that was the plan from the get go.

Get another 2nd and a prospect for him. Have a bunch of cap space for potentially the best ufa class ever ?

 

[Cellee]

Petan for Brassard

 

[Vitto79]

WHoever misses in Hayes likely turns to Brassard... this was expected he’s ufa

F'LOL'rida

 

[Avsboy]

Avs? Coach Bednar likes his Jackets

 

[Papa044]

He’s a UFA, panthers 10 points out. Why wouldn’t they trade him?

 

[Ryan Michaels]

If Florida moves Hoffman and Brassard and misses on Breadman and Bob it'll look ugly real quick.

 

[Schenn]

I thought we already knew Brassard was going to be traded by the deadline. Was there not a report the day he was acquired that they plan on flipping him?

Minnesota going all-in on Parise and Suter didn't end up achieving much.

For f*** sake, Brassard is a UFA after this season and Hoffman is still here.
Some of you people just look for ways to pounce on the Panthers. Even if you don’t have all the facts, apparently.

Kadri is hurt depending on how long he's out there could be a fit

 

[NYRKing]

Someone should trade for him and zucc. Great chemistry, and the other winger on their line usually reaps the most reward.

 

[Yatzhee]

Hope this guy has frequent flyer miles

Florida, what you doing

How did people seriously not see this coming when Florida took him back as a cap dump?

 

[Beauner]

I would be 100% in favor of the leafs acquiring Brassard

You are correct. This should be surprising or controversial to nobody.

 

[FinlandPanther]

How did people seriously not see this coming when Florida took him back as a cap dump?

Because people can’t see anything that requires any sort of critical thinking.

 

[Laus723]

Right? We should let him walk, don’t collect anything for a pending UFA.

Made playoffs every year. Gotta remember that Granlund, Zucker, Coyle, Brodin, Nino was considered among the NHLs best prospect group when they signed Parise & Suter and most of those guys never took next step. Parise & Suter mostly did their part. Wild just never added right complimentary pieces, namely an offensive C. Also the Hawks being a dynasty didnt help.

But from business standpoint, the signings were a success. Competitive for 6+ years. Thats a lot of money for the owner and franchise.

Relax dude. I'm rooting for them to make the big Ufa splash anyhow, I like the team, I like barkov, I really don't give a **** about "pouncing on" them(pun intended?). Yeah Hoffman is still there see where I said "IF"???! UFA or not both would be cap clearing moves assuming they would've tried to sign Brassard otherwise, which granted might not have been the case, I guess I don't have all the facts just like anyone else. But seriously, deep breaths budy, weird team to have a persecution complex for.

 

[DJA]

This board is becoming unreadable with the LOLZ gang who know absolutely nothing about the business side of the NHL.

 

[STL Shark]

Is Brassard slang for "future considerations"? DW was supposedly in on Brassard prior to the trade to FLA so wonder if he circles back on him now. He would have to play 4C so any additional assets may be a steep price to pay for a 4C with cheaper options available.
