Good 4th liner.

I honestly thought he retired.

Does Chuck Fletcher not know there is a salary cap? Isn't a bad deal at all, but I though the Flyers were already over the cap.

At 825K, Brassard makes less money than most players on ELCs.

 

[Vitto79]

6 teams in 6 years . Atleast he got a job

While it's true, the Flyers are already 1.3 million over the cap according to spotrac (before the Brassard signing).

8 in 6. 6 in 3.

This will move the needle . . .

Capfriendly have them under still though.

That Brassard-Zib deal turned out to be something..

 

[NYR94]

Played for AV in New York. Is he their 4th C now or is he likely to play wing?

 

[Sparksrus3]

How the Rags traded him and a seventh for Zib and a second round pick back was quite the heist..

 

[Edenjung]

Solid Player.

Good signing for him.

Someone tell Chuck there's a salary cap.

Appears to be trying to make all his deadline deals before the deadline.

Yea, but you will still have X amount of players on your roster. He is almost certain to take the roster spot of a guy who would make more. If they need to bury him in the AHL then his contract is just about completely off their cap.

 

[Barnaby]

I always liked him for NYR... hate to see him in Philly after also seeing him play for NYI.

 

[kerrabria]

His 9th NHL team (7th in the Eastern Conference, 5th in the Metropolitan Division).
Will be turning 34-years-old soon. If he keeps producing at a respectable rate, he could easily hold 2nd place in NHL history with 11 teams played. Or even tie Sillinger's 12.

 

[RangersFan1994]

always performs in the playoffs, hope the Flyers miss the playoffs

How the Rags traded him and a seventh for Zib and a second round pick back was quite the heist..

And some NYR fans were upset over that... There was a point where the team was so bad on paper that any bright spot became a fan favorite for some.

Probably for depth incase Hayes isn't ready to go come October. If I were Hayes i'd contemplate taking the season off.

He could honestly end up as high as 3C depending on how things work out at training camp.

Right now they have Giroux, Couturier, Hayes, Brassard, Thompson, Laughton, and Frost as guys that could play center. But they prefer Giroux and, to a lesser extent, Laughton at wing, and Frost will have to blow people's socks off at camp to make the squad it looks like. The Flyers just have a ton of forwards, though...they sure as hell can't complain about depth there. Will be interesting to see what the roster looks like.

 

[Del Preston]

Columbus
NY Rangers
Pittsburgh
NY Islanders
Philadelphia
Carolina
New Jersey
Washington

He's getting closer to playing for every Metro team.

 

[Rebels57]

Chuckles is hoovering up every washed up veteran like a strung out coke addict.

 

[Rebels57]

Probably for depth incase Hayes isn't ready to go come October. If I were Hayes i'd contemplate taking the season off.

Probably the last thing he wants to do.

Likeable player. Didn't make much of an impact in AZ (who has?) but he seemed to work hard and limited mistakes.
