By signing free-agent center Derick Brassard to a single-year $1.2 million deal, the New York Islanders brought in an NHL veteran that’s can give the team some decent offensive production and can play well on both sides of the puck.
He’s the exact type of player that Lou Lamoriello likes to bring in and the exact type of player that head coach Barry Trotz likes to work with.
But who knows if Derick Brassard will provide decent offensive production or if he will play well on both sides of the puck.
