I hope so, the fear is that Brassard is a Center and there are so few of them on trade market that drove up Brassard’s Price Quote
darksabre Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Interesting that the goalies moving around are all bargain bin. Quote

Mustache of God Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 Seems like Pittsburgh is out on Kane then. Quote
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 From John Shannon Just talked to someone who said of the Brassard deal "The league hasn't weighed in on it yet, this one is a complex one." Quote

Per Dreger Good return. Good player but maybe inflated a bit by being the only Centre on the market. Can’t see Kane returning more, but I could see him returning similar. I still have this sense that Kane might end up in Calgary. They can pay what we would want and can just see Brian Burke being a big fan of Kane’s game. On 2/23/2018 at 8:42 PM, Radar said: Why? Ones a center Kane is a wing. Can’t see the Pens moving futures in two big moves. They are thin there already. When Sid and Geno hit the wall it’s going to get ugly there. Rhutherford wont care though, enjoying retirement in the sunshine, polishing his Stanley Cup rings. Quote
WildCard Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 I feel a lot better about Kane's return now Quote

Because we want a 1st in return for Kane and they just used that up on Brassard. I suppose I should have said we're out on trading Kane to Pittsburgh.

WildCard Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 @PierreVLeBrun And needless to say, plan is for Ottawa to flip pending UFA Ian Cole before Monday's trade deadline Quote
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) From McKenzie PIT-OTT deal involving Brassard is ultra-complicated, so much so that Brassard will likely first be traded to a team other than PIT. Then flipped to PIT. Hearing that third team is likely VGK. Potential for layers of salary retention. Edited February 23, 2018 by Brawndo Quote
Sabres Fan in NS Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 How much you wanna bet the NHL puts the kibosh on that Brassard deal. Quote
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Per Cap Friendly The max salary a team can retain is 50% & the max number of times a contract can be retained is twice. Theoretical max retained salary scenario for Brassard is therefore: Trade 1: 50% of 5M (2.5M) Trade 2: 50% of 2.5M (1.25M) Final cap hit for #Pittsburgh: $1.25M (Theoretical) On 2/23/2018 at 10:10 PM, Sabersfläkt i NS said: How much you wanna bet the NHL puts the kibosh on that Brassard deal. I wouldn’t be surprised, but anything is possible in Bettman’s NHL Quote
Brawndo Posted February 23, 2018 Author Report Posted February 23, 2018 Per Kypreos Hearing @NHL has rejected the Brassard trade unless @penguins @Senators @GoldenKnights can restructure the trade to leagues satisfaction. Quote
Thorner Posted February 23, 2018 Report Posted February 23, 2018 On 2/23/2018 at 6:07 AM, PerreaultForever said: Not recently. Give Kane the puck he's going to shoot, sometimes score, that's about it. Various places on tv talk is a first and a prospect or a second and a good prospect. Eight teams still interested. Kane is a really good player. Even after this huge slump, likely because he took his foot off the gas due to injury concerns, he’s sitting at 20/20/40. He’s scoring, passing better, and is a young, energetic, physical player that’ll be a nice addition for any team looking to make a playoff run. Kane isn’t going to get a huge return, simply because he’s a rental. It really does just come down to that. To my mind his value is much, much closer to what we paid for him, in the hypothetical world he had term right now. In fact, he’s a better player now than then, and is staying out of trouble. Quote

Seemed straightforward. Brassard will have part of his contract retained by VGK, but for them to do that the league requires Brassard to first be acquired by VGK. So Ottawa has to trade Brassard to VGK then VGK trades him to PIT Quote
Brawndo Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Posted February 24, 2018 Per John Shannon Would not be surprised to see Ian Cole in Vegas in the Brassard deal to balance the books. Quote

Brawndo Posted February 24, 2018 Author Report Posted February 24, 2018 (edited) Per McKenzie The Brassard Trade has been approved by the NHL Now Shannon is reportng Ian Cole will not be going to VGK Per LeBrun Pittsburgh sending Ryan Reaves to Vegas Cole also going to Ottawa Edited February 24, 2018 by Brawndo Quote
