I think whoever signs Brassard is getting a bad deal. He had a terrible season last year and I feel like he's not worth a $3M price tag. If you can sign him for half that I'd listen.
Something like Gagner plus a 5th/6th for a 7th somewhere might work. Not losing a ton but getting out of the contract for the season would be a plus especially with Holland exclusively signing dumpster forwards in free agency.
I think there might be something there on the Bjugstad idea. Pretty bad season for Bjugstad last year, contract isn't looking great right now but should at least be able to fill a hole on the third line for the next two years. Has some plus side that could elevate him to the second line and Puljujarvi might be worth the gamble for Pittsburgh.
