Description

Going into the game against the Jets, the Penguins top line had produced an elite 9.15 WAR when all three players are on the ice together. The second line had also produced an elite WAR, however, slightly lower at 6.8. The third line has the worst WAR in the NHL, at -5.04. Although with my luck, they'll probably have five points tonight. Based on these analytics and the teams stated preference to play Kessel on the third line, it may be in their best interest to move on from Brassard. Not only is this trade bound to improve production from the third line, but it would also create enough cap space to add a veteran or two for a run at the cup.

That's a hell of a trade for Phillip Danault, that would be very hard for Montreal to say no to. As important as Danault is, Montreal says yes in a heartbeat.

Danault always been a center hello. Danault played last year on the first line & right now he’s on the second line. In the best world he’s a very good third center. He’s good in faceoff & very good defensively. He plays on PK too. Brassard will not resign with Montreal because Poehling or Suzuki will be ready to play on the third line next year. That’s leave Domi,KK, Poehling & Peca. Määttä he’s Finish like KK Armia Niemi & Lehkonen. Montreal accept the trade.

It helps if you actually read the additional details. It's a conditional draft pick
