Rumor: Brassard close to signing with the Islanders

[Del Preston]

Oil Derick Brassard

 

[Stickpucker]

Oilers adding actual NHL quality depth.

Good for them.

 

[Turin]

That was lucic...

Lucic was definitely better, believe it or not.

 

[Skolman]

I like it for the Oil, low risk.

Of course you will have people in here criticizing the decision to bring him in, which is pretty pathetic and predictable.

 

[Turin]

Gives Neal someone to play with after he gets demoted.

Has the potential to form the worst line in the league if last year was a trend.

 

[cpsman]

Lucic was definitely better, believe it or not.

Last time I checked, 14 G > 6 G

 

[nturn06]

Nope, Lucic was legitimately better than Brassard was last year.

Interesting, as soon as he was traded, not only Lucic become better but his past performance somehow also improved.....

 

[Turin]

Last time I checked, 14 G > 6 G

Last time I checked Draisaitl had more goals than McDavid too son.

Last time I checked, 14 G > 6 G

You forgot the 2 fights Lucic had last year, that is worth much more than 8 goals .....

 

[nturn06]

Last time I checked Draisaitl had more goals than McDavid too son.

So are you saying that we should compare points? Oh wait... Maybe fights? Or consecutive games without a goal?

No, you just really don't understand how bad Brassard was last year. But your "woe is me!" act is also cute, I'll give it like a 6/10.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Wasnt he his own Toby rider last year?

Reider had 14 goals last year?

 

[Del Preston]

14 goals is 14 goals. Sign the beast.

 

[McSuper]

Chiasson sure died last year.

Lets not forget Kassian whom all but killed his career . Came to Edmonton and has revive his career . Then There Maroon .

 

[McTonyBrar]

Last time I checked Draisaitl had more goals than McDavid too son.

Its honestly pathetic and embarrassing how you non Oiler fans suddenly are saying Lucic is decent after he got traded out of Edmonton. Before, he was the laughing stock of the league. Now, he's a decent player. Honestly so sad and immature.

kassian has ups and downs . wasnt he being told to find a trade for himself like last year ?

maroon was good on the ducks too

 

[TheNumber4]

Brassard will help. Vet center with proven productivity. Overall judgement of this signing when / if we get dollars and term.

 

[Dr Awesome]

Can he also play specific wing? Or both?

 

[Seanaconda]

Can he also play specific wing? Or both?

from googling it he played lw at least once on the pens with crosby and guentzel . in the article it seems like that was his first time as a winger.

apparrntly they tossed him on rw when he was on florida for a bit as well. no idea if he looked good either time

 

[cpsman]

Last time I checked Draisaitl had more goals than McDavid too son.

that is relevant how?

Can you give me some objective evidence of how Lucic was actually better than Brassard last year?

 

[82Ninety42011]

That was lucic...

Loui Eriksson says hi.

 

[General Disarray]

Is he automatically their 4th or 5th best forward?

 

[Drew311]

If he's not playing with McDavid he'll be garbage, just like everywhere else he's played since Ottawa.

 

[McTonyBrar]

Point me to where I said anything besides Brassard sucks, thanks. If you’re going to have a fit at least be able to read.

I wasn't talking about you when it came to non Oiler fans and lucic..

 

[McBooya42]

Nope, Lucic was legitimately better than Brassard was last year.

Um no, he wasn't.
