Rumor: Brassard will be traded?

[94now]

Just heard on NHL Radio last night from Bob McKenzie. AV wants the team to get younger sighted as a reason. Was that discussed anywhere here? What can we get in return?

Brassard is 26 years old. He is about to enter his prime and is hardly the problem. He is a pending RFA and it may be a salary issue. I can't see Brassard leaving as center depth is a must in the NHL.

That sounds somewhat strange, given our (severe lack of) center depth. And Brass isn't old ? Then again, i have no clue what Rangers management has planned

Wait. Bob said Brassard might be traded? Or are you speculating that he'll be traded because AV wants the team to get younger?

Clarify this or I'm going to lock it until someone confirms this was actually said.

If the Rangers traded Brassard, I would hope they would get a 20 something offensive center in return.

He also said Boyle will be let go UFA.Starlman will hit the market as well. Richards was told he has been bought out. Faulk will not get QA.

wait. brass is young.

and i still say we go hard for stasny and hes only 28.

doesnt make sense to breakup out best offensive line.

???

It seems extremely odd for Bob McKenzie to go on national radio and delve into the Rangers as deeply as Jusin Falk...

JTM will replace Brass. We can get something else as far as position in return. They have to keep Moore somehow. Moore will be wanted in NHLcomes July 1st.

Locked until someone can provide proof that he actually said anything like this.
