Solinar Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 This could be awesome for the Oilers. He's instantly better than anyone in their bottom 6, including when he gets injured. They'd be able to actually have centre depth to a point, as Draisatl can only play wing with McDavid. This is the kind of signing that actually impacts them in a positive way. Wish it hadn't of happened, as I was looking forward to just feasting on the Coilers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Cheap 1 year deal I am sure. Can't go wrong. Rather have Brassard on the cheap vs 1 of our 2 overpaid bottom 6 C. At worst its a 1 year deal and they flip him for a pick at the TDl if he plays half decent 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNeil Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 They don't have much cap space....so I assume the dollars are good for the Oilers. Should be good for the Oilers. He will work hard for his next contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see Edmonton stuck in that rut though. Edmonton would take either of our "overpaid" bottom 6 C any day of the week if they could afford them. They are exactly what they need right now.

AV. Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Good move. Flog off RNH for a decent defenceman and use Brassard as a stop-gap. Then flog off Brassard for, minimum, a 3rd/4th at the TD. Easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be a miracle if the guy stays healthy and can produce at all. They managed to find the only C injured more than Sutter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drofssalg Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Update from Jason Gregor - both sides interested but nothing imminent. Georges is a good source but sounds like he jumped the gun and therefore so did I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GB5 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I actually wonder if Brasard has very much left to offer an NHL team. At least if he comes cheap then I guess he is worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
