Player Discussion Derick Brassard

[TheTakedown]

He was also concussed. I know Gaborik had injuries his second year too.

Nash used that year to round out EVERYTHING else in his game... He plays a 3 zone 200 foot game--something Gaborik was never really good at.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

47 points in 55 games, he's on pace for 68 points.. I'll gladly admit I was wrong.. He's even improved his defense and he's doing it against the other teams top lines.

 

[CaptainMcD]

Since being traded to CBJ Gaborik has 32 goals in 98 games.

Brassard alone has 37 goals. That's not to mention J. Moore and to a lesser extent Dorsett. Sather is godly.

Yeah, but dorsett is gone, and likely John Moore will be gone too (though we should get some kind of compensation for him).

I'd be happy with the trade if it was straight up. Especially with the winger group we have now and the need we had for a center.

 

[Raspewtin]

This is my favorite part of his season:

October: 7P/9GP
November: 12P/14GP
December: 9P/10GP
January: 7P/12GP
February: 12P/10GP

He's never really slowed down, all year.

The Rangers got a 3rd for Dorsett. Keegan Iverson.

If the Rangers trade Moore by next Monday,they could acquire another longer term asset in return.

The Rangers could not afford Gaborik's $7.5M with a $64.3M cap in 2013-14.

What is J. Moore's real value at this point?
I'd take a 3rd rounder for him and run.

with the way he's playing now, I would to based on age and position of need, I was just saying, two of those guys will likely be gone.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

just passed his career high in points with over 20 games to go.

He is having a great year. He's been fantastic for us since the trade. Very happy he is here for a while and is earning his new contract.

I think he's also close to a .80PPG in the playoffs for us too.

The guy is money in the playoffs! He dominated the caps 2 years ago and was a major reason we won against the pens last year.

Here's a pretty good read about Brassard:

The importance of Brassard's acquisition can not be understated.

 

[Raspewtin]

4th in the NHL in assists/60 minutes.

He's been a machine all year and just hasn't slowed down.

If you don't like /60 stats, Brassard is 17th in the NHL in even strength points.

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Still wish brass would shoot more.. He's got a great shot both wrist and slapper

 

[Raspewtin]

One point away from a 60 point season.

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Was one of the many that thought we overpaid for him, but he's turning into a value.. loving to eat crow on this one.

 

[Doctyl]

I thought his contract was worth it after the season he just had, but at the time of the trade I didnt think he would be anything more than a career 3rd liner.

 

[Ail]

One of the few times I have to eat heaps of crow. I hated this acquisition because of his streaky history with CBJ. I really didn't think he would amount to more than he was there. So glad to be wrong. He's been great in NY.
