Brassard.

Brassard will have a better season this year. Probably a career year. 65 points?

I doubt Brassard has a career year. He had shoulder surgery and is expected to be miss the start of the season but I'd still take brassard.

Id say Paul but Im sure he'll break his foot during the preseason and spend his usual 20ish games on IR

 

[NORiculous]

I'll go with Brassard

I picked Stastny, and thought it would be a lot closer than this. I think NYR is going to regret trading Stepan, because Brassard is only a #2 C himself.

Has there been any updates on his status? Initial reports seemed to indicate he could miss anywhere from just training camp, to the first month in the season

Anyways, in terms of production pace, I think he's a great candidate to rebound from last year. His underlying numbers were good, he has a history of producing, and some of the contributing factors to his down production may have improved. He also showed the capacity to produce at a higher level in the playoffs up until he wrecked his shoulder. On the downside, he may be slow to get back into game shape depending on how much training he misses as a result of the surgery.

Ouch, that's embarrassing. I will go wear the cone of shame now.
