Pittsburgh trade for Brassard..

I think all the times Shero got GM of the year were bullshit since each year her dealt somebody for the sake of making a move whereas Rutherford is much more careful about fucking with the dynamic. Pittsburgh could really use some more defense but Brassard is a guy you’d be happy with on any of your top 3 lines.

Holland doesn’t make this deal because he never drafted Brassard so he doesn’t see it. Holland’s habits lead towards the lite version of the player you need to get over and that’s why Nielsen is a Red Wing instead of ignoring his one good season and just using a prospect of players he already had otherwise. Also, only now is Holland understanding the value of a move that merely clears cap room for latwr
