kenhodgejr Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Why is this guy not being reported on more by the press. He looks like a high end prospect to me with NHL potential. He is proving that last year was no fluke. He has taken his game to another level. Canucks need to sign this kid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroCanuck Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Great prospect. Its nice to at least have a potential RD prospect with offensive skills. I have a hard time seeing him not signed this offseason and he looks like a guy that could be solid for us in a couple years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This is his fourth year in the CHL, that's why there's not more hype around him. Glad to see him doing well, he'll be in tough to get a spot in the AHL next year but I hope he keeps on improving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a defenceman last year a couple of years ago that had 69 points in 67 games - Carl Neil, but we didn’t sign him. He went on to play Canadian College hockey - 31 points in 28 games last year. He had lots of offence, but the Canucks didn’t think he had the skating, as I understand, so not signed. I understand that skating is the reason Brassard went so low in the draft. Skating is the thing a player can probably do the most about - so hopefully he does and has. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 One power play assist tonight for Brassard. He’s now up to 15 points (6G 9A) in 20 GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably cause he is 20 in Junior. Speaking of which, any reason he isn't with Utica? He is older than Lind but is in Junior still. Does he need to have 4 years of Junior before he can graduate to Pro? It was my understanding that it was 4 years of Junior OR turning 20 before a certain date before he can go pro. Seems like 20 in August would be old enough to graduate to pro, I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the main reason he stayed in Junior was because of his off-season shoulder surgery that put him back quite a bit. He could not participate at the Young Stars Tournament or attend training camp because of the injury. There were some projections that he would not be ready until well into the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yeah, forgot about that. Nice to see he is recovering pretty nicely based on his production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I still think he might’ve tweaked something that game a while back when he went down and came up clutching his arm. Didn’t really miss much time, but since then, his shot volume is way down, and he hasn’t scored as much. So maybe he’s was playing a bit hurt and, if it was his arm that was banged up, that could easily affect his offence. Also, they have Vallati who can step right in on PP1, and a much deeper overall D group this year. Gross has been on first pairing and Brassard has played 2nd pairing (at least the past while). And he’s switched between 1PP and 2PP, while last year he’d practically play the full 2 minutes on the man advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ref and a Gens teammate are even trying to hold him back as Matty skates right over to the Niagara bench and gives the Icedogs players an earful as he rubs his GWG in their noses. This was a chippy game, with 18 penalties called and 14 power plays, so clearly Matt was fired up and wanted to give it to the Icedogs. But honestly, Brassard also just likes to be a s*** disturber, regardless of the game story. Couldn’t find a nicer guy with off the ice, and he’s loved by his teammates, but he sure isn’t popular with opponents. Seems like he never passes up an opportunity to rub a little salt in the wounds.

It wasn’t intentional, but I’m definitely guilty of playing with language at times to make a hockey play sound like something a little bit dirty. And then there was the Rathbone thread where it got derailed for a few pages of talking about “Rathboners” and “D’s” and “back ends” (and I have to admit I was one of the most guilty culprits in that debacle). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy 100 dollar word! Damn thanks for teaching me that one! The Rathbone thread was pure gold. My god what a name. That kid was destined for greatness from the get-go. He's on the rise 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
