Thread: Brassard deal illegal?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div>Ottawa trades Brassard to Pittsburgh for Gustavsson, a 1st, and Cole. Pittsburgh then trades Brassard 50% retained to Vegas in exchange for future considerations, and Gustavsson goes from the Senators to the Golden Knights for Brassard. Ottawa then trades Cole, the 1st round pick, future considerations, Brassard, and Gustavsson to the Penguins for more future considerations before Pittsburgh trades Brassard to Ottawa for the 1st in 2018 once again, then the 1st to Vegas for Cole, and Brassard gets traded to Vegas 50% retained from Ottawa for Gustavsson, who then goes to Pittsburgh for future considerations. Then, Ottawa trades future considerations to Vegas for the 1st, which then goes to Pittsburgh for Gustavsson and Cole. Cole is then traded to the Golden Knights from the Senators for future considerations. The Penguins then get Gustavsson from Vegas to a 1st. Finally, Vegas trades Cole and Gustavsson to Ottawa for Brassard.

That is how confusing this is getting, lol</div></div>

Seems legit.

Thread: Let's a make a move
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BetterBrianMaclellan</b></div><div>That's a good question. I'm not really one to bandwagon and start hating a player just because everyone says he sucks. Personally, I think Burakovsky has not quite adjusted as he should have to the NHL and I think the caps could trade him while he still has value and potential in order to maximize his value. He has become somewhat of a frustrating player (not that he is being coached properly, but that's a whole other story). Burakovsky has this season struggled to find his game, when he was supposed to take a leap. He tends to miss the net frequently and skates himself into tough areas. While he does show flashes here and there, i don't think its frequent enough to overlook when he does make bad plays. I think he could become a good player in this league, but I am also worried that it won't happen. So in that sense, trading him now would elicit the greatest return. He's not a bad player rn, he's just not taking that next step as he should.

Full disclaimer: He has had a tough season with injuries and scratches, so that could definitely be affecting his game.</div></div>

Appreciate the detailed response. As a Pens fan I recall him being a solid player(from what I saw), and considering his age/contract it made me wonder. Conor Sheary is like that for us. He's shown some brilliant flashes, but is also inconsistent. Good luck this year.
