Confirmed Trade: [FLA/PIT] Bjugstad & McCann for Brassard, Sheahan, 2nd 2019, 4th 2019, 4th 2019

[Lays]

I like this for both teams, Panthers could still flip Brassard

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I'm guessing you're joking but in case you're not, Lavoie's tweet is a painfully easy one to figure out.

It was a joke, clearly not a good one

 

[Taluss]

Interesting

 

[57special]

So far it seems weird for Florida.

Wanted to get out from under Jugs contract...Brassard is expiring.

 

[Whileee]

Glad that we can finally put to rest the "Brassard to Jets" stuff.

 

[MintyFresh88]

Panthers opening up space for next season...Panarin/Bob?

 

[Phil68]

Whaaaaaaa... That 3rd line is now sooooo sooo solid

 

[Vitto79]

so is FLA gonna flip both UFA Sheahan and Brassard?..........werid........Bjustad a cap dump?.............McCann young no?

 

[tom leafers]

Like this from a Pittsburgh perspective. Florida probably flips Brassard for futures.

thats what im thinking. this trade kinda confuses me quite a bit

 

[Nsjohnson]

Is big Nick B that pride of Blaine, MN really that bad now after concussion issues? Could he improve on PITT?

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Lateral questionmark

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

McCann good?

 

[Sam Spade]

Meh player for meh players. Doesn't move the needle for the Pens except to get rid of Sheahan.

 

[Ainec]

great trade for florida

 

[NYRKing]

Wait. Why is this good for the Pens? Brassard seemed to be a non-factor but so is Bjugstad. And a second? Mccan over Sheahan by that much? Too many questions...

 

[Ainec]

type of shit benning can never pull off

 

[qwerty]

Clearing the cap to add that Bread & Bob.

 

[SFKingshomer]

Bunch of mediocrity in this deal. Good for the Panthers to clear cap space and pick up draft picks.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Well Dreger is not credible so it can't be true. No I joke.

On the surface I like this deal for the Pens, but The Panthers got back some sneaky value too.

 

[KingJoffrey]

So Florida clears cap space and can trade Brassard in a month. Sounds good to me.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Uh.
Does Florida think they have a shot?

Probably.

Can't sleep on them though. Funny enough, year from now they had the same amount of points as they have now, and ended up missing the playoffs by a point. Difference is, this year they have 1 more game left to play.

They did get on a 3-game winning streak beating Toronto, Nashville and San Jose all in regulation before the break. After getting Trocheck back their lineup looks what i envisioned at the beginning of the year, but this is the first time they actually have that and they look good.

 

[Whileee]

Is Bjugstad really that much better than Brassard that the Pens are willing to hammer their cap situation for next year? They are going to have to send out more assets to dump cap in the off-season.

 

[Haj]

Bad trade for FL.

 

[sxvnert]

Looks like the Panthers are just dumping both contracts to gear up for this summer. Panarin & Bobrovsky offers locked and loaded.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Lol at anyone saying wtf Florida. This is for Bob and Panarin. So much cap cleared.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

I liked it before I knew we also gave up picks. Value seemed fair to me.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Is big Nick B that pride of Blaine, MN really that bad now after concussion issues? Could he improve on PITT?

Back issues, not concussion.

He's not that bad, he just needs to use his body more when defending the puck
