Colorado Avalanche: Pondering the Derick Brassard Trade

Many Colorado Avalanche fans didn’t like the addition of Derick Brassard, due to his lackluster performance the past season or so and the fact that he’s a 31 year old on an expiring contract.

I am not one of those people.

I love this trade.

What do the Avs have to lose here? A third round pick? Oh well.

But what did they gain?

A player who has the capability to play on the power play, win big face-offs, and someone who has 59 points in an astounding 90 playoff games. I think that Derick Brassard will absolutely flourish in the Colorado Avalanche’s lineup.
