Confirmed with Link: Brassard for 2018 1st + Gustavsson + Cole...or not...maybe, some time. Eventually. Probably?

[JackFr]

Oh my god Brassard at 3 million dollars.

 

[Don'tcry4mejanhrdina]

Wow! So, is his cap hit only $3 million, or is Ottawa retaining some too and it's even less? Either way, that's incredible!

Who are these prospects?

 

[cassius]

Did you guys see Reaves is part of the deal? Now on LAS

 

[Brandinho]

I didn't like the expanded trade until I saw the 40% retention. That's nice.

 

[Gurglesons]

This deal is f***ing insane for a UFA Brassard.

We get Brassard for another year LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL.

 

[Tom Hanks]

IT GETS BETTER

This is the best part **** yeahhhhhhhh

Go play some more JR

 

[Ugene Magic]

Edit: Beaten, apparently, multiple times.

 

[Ryder71]

Holy crap, this is the most complexed trade I've ever seen, damn!

 

[rmartin65]

Just a quick look-through on EP

Dunn looks like a nobody- .5 PPG this year in the ECHL, lots of PIMS throughout his career.

Lindberg looks like he may have potential, though. Big body, solid totals in the CHL and AHL. Worth keeping an eye on.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Brassard is $600k cheaper than Bonino for the duration of his contract here.

Yeah but BrassardBrassardBrassard just does not sound as good.

 

[RustyRazor]

Yeah, this was worth waiting for.

 

[TNT87]

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Wow, I didn't think we'd deal Reaves and Cole. But damn, 40% retention! And Tobias Lindberg is a very interesting prospect for us. Dunn I am not as high on, but still.

No wonder Bobby Mac said it was complicated.

 

[Ryder71]

This is the best part **** yeahhhhhhhh

Go play some more JR

I can't take much more, true story.

 

[Clare2904]

As I said earlier this afternoon, this trade will make a great trivia question

 

[xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yeah but BrassardBrassardBrassard just does not sound as good.

Stanley Stanley Stanley is better than anything though.

 

[66-30-33]

3M Brassard is better then a 5M Brassard. Now let's go out and make a move for a dman.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

So with 40 percent retention and Cole a.d Reaves gone how much cap space do the Pens have?

A lot it looks like. Precursor to another deal?

 

[chethejet]

Losing your two most physical players is not my idea of a good deal. But I hope Sid and Geno are happy to lose two guys who gave them a sense of not being subject to cheap shots again. They will need Brassard for the reasons they didn't have in mind. F'n carolina took a couple shots.

 

[pensfan71]

Now just trade Hunwick...plz...

 

[DegenX]

Lindberg and Dunn both drafted long enough ago that there's a HF write-up. Looks like Lindberg was sidelined by injuries last season according to this

 

[Asuna]

the press release said they're only retaining 40% of his salary for this season....?

 

[GregR]

FWIW the Pens press release on the deal says the salary retention is for this year, doesn't say both.

 

[Dick Sledge]

So did we technically gain cap space for this weekend?

 

[66-30-33]

Wow! So, is his cap hit only $3 million, or is Ottawa retaining some too and it's even less? Either way, that's incredible!

Who are these prospects?

Once we get through with them they will be awesome.
