He looked good.

Some nice creativity, scored his goal, and should provide some decent secondary scoring. About what we expected. I mean, not a goal per game, but the overall influence out there.

Congrats to him.

He can win faceoffs

 

[LieutenantDangle]

Brassard was a solid top 6 player for several years. I don’t think he’s there anymore, but should be a solid 3rd liner going forward. And if by chance avs make the playoffs this season he also had a very good production in the post season.

 

[Hasbro]

I'm trying to link RNH to our team so that he eventually ends up here someday!

“See how snazzy you’ll look in burgundy RNH?”

2013 called, it was wondering where you wandered off to.

 

[klozge]

Good first game. Miles better than Dries, Bourque and Ghetto which is a shame considering he never had a practice with the team before.

 

[forsbergavs32]

Hopefully he can teach these guys how to win faceoffs

You don’t like my joke, fine. No need to be an ass about it.

 

[Metallo]

The tie breaker is ROW and the Avs trail Minny on that. There is more to the lost OTs than the points.

I really think (ok I wish/hope) he can become a top 6 player again, first game was good.

Wasn't that long ago Senators shipped Zibanejad to Rangers for Brassard, ok a stupid trade underrating Zib, overrating Brassard but it shows the status Brassard had back then.

 

[tucker3434]

Considering who WE are currently playing in the top 6, I think Brassard will be an upgrade for us there. But if Sakic is even remotely considering extending him, he better be looking at a 3rd line role in both slot and cost. He isn’t a player that will be on a WCF team’s second line.

 

[CB Joe]

I think the Avs could re-sign him on a short term deal at around $3m - $3.5m unless he lights it up here then I could see something in the $4m range.

 

[lonelybadger]

If he is a Nieto replacement he does not need to score for another 13 games and I am happy with his production.

These OTs will probably cost us the playoffs. Mark my words. If we only could´ve managed to win just 6 OTs we would be battling with the Blues for the 3rd place in the division. It´s a shame and unacceptable. I can´t even remember a team in this league that practical loses every single OT.....

Brassard is over the hill, but I don't mind this move. A 3rd round pick in 2020 isn't real valuable and it is really dropping 3 rounds if the Avs don't re-sign Brassard (which I would be opposed to for the right price). This shores up some depth without giving up much going forward. I'd like to be more aggressive and getting a bigger fish as this kicks the can so to speak, but at least it is doing something.

Something we have a chance winning this season, the NHL stats for losing in OT, we are huge favorites for this one.

Of course we will reach playoffs, nothing else is acceptable.

 

[Spleenless Wonder21]

I don’t mind the acquisition given the price. Now, had he followed through with fist bumping the Fla bench after his goal last night, as he appeared on the verge of mistakenly doing it would’ve made this one of my favorite trades ever.

That's one way to look at it.
Another is that we might make the playoffs, on the back of Loser-Points.
Which sucks. I hate Loser-Points (even when they help the Avs).

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Hopefully he can continue winning faceoffs. I think that he can have a really positive effect on our centers, practicing against someone who can consistently win faceoffs will teach them how to do it as well.

I have no qualms with drawing our way to the playoffs. I mean, it's better than if we only got in because of gimmick points from winning 3-on-3.

...but I wouldn't complain about making the postseason no matter how we do it, as long as we can finally break the cycle and make the playoffs in consecutive seasons for the first time in my adult life...

Yeah a good day on the job is a loss????

 

[Foppberg]

I couldn't care less how we get in as long as we're in.
