Our organization has been interested in Brassard since his draft year. This move came as no surprise to many of us. He checked all the boxes; center, ex-Blue Jacket, longtime target, etc.
We really gave up nothing for him, so I’m fine with the trade. He provides some secondary scoring and is a much better player than Kerfoot/Andrighetto. My issue is it’s yet another tweener who doesn’t provide much jam, nor is it a difference making forward.
I am sure he will come in and get some points, and considering the prices out there, he didn’t cost much. I would have preferred a Zucker or even Chiasson myself, but it is what it is.
I fully expect us to extend him, too. Let’s hope it isn’t for too much money and term.
This is my only concern with the deal.I could see Sakic viewing Brassard as a bit of a backup plan incase he swings and misses on acquiring a top 6 C this offseason too. Barring that he does well this season.
Avs have actually had players burst out on the scene after a trade like Andrighetto, Mueller, and Fleischmann all did. Due to some unfortunate circumstances, all two (well three) faced some terrible injuries to kill our luck long term. I would put Brassard more into them category than the Jordan Caron considering talent. However, Brassard's work ethic is probably the worst out of all the players I mentioned here, lol.After Jordan Caron I have a wait and see approach.
Yes obviously thst is me. .. ... ....Wtf would you post that here? If that is you you're fired.
When the injured guys get back, maybe something like:
Kerf* - MacK - Jimmothy
Landy - Soderberg - Nieto
Jost - Brassard - Rantanen
Calvert - Wilson* - Ghetto*
Mikko's line eats soft-offensive minutes, Sodaskog & LBN take on the shutdown role, and at least MacK gets Jimmothy to work with...
I neither like it. Makes sense to let him play wing in his debut when he hasn't had a chance to practice with the team, though.Not too keen on Brassard on the wing. They tried it in Pittsburgh -- I think even with both Crosby and Malkin? -- and it didn't work at all. Didn't work in the very brief time he was in Florida either. Especially don't think he'd work too well on the wing in Bednar's system, Brassard is a bit more of a passive skilled player IMO. He should be down the centre if they want the best out of him I think...I think close to the lines @forsbergavs32 posted, except swap Kerfoot and Ghetto. Stick Brassard between Landeskog and Compher, see if he can find a place as a playmaker between two wingers who I think might be good fits.
It just goes to show you, even adding another top 9 forward we still look more shallow than the piss end of the public pool.

Holy ****, just saw that pirate-cussing-tool Mike Commodore called this trade.
Well.. nice knowing ya Brass.
Well no wonder he's had concussion issues then.Incoming plane crash to Pepsi Centre filled with Ebola virus during a random sequence of action making Brassard lose two years to treat.
Jokes aside, I swear I thought Timmins already grabbed #18?
Not a big deal. He probably doesn't remember.Incoming plane crash to Pepsi Centre filled with Ebola virus during a random sequence of action making Brassard lose two years to treat.
