Ottawa Senators: Derick Brassard Traded To Pittsburgh Penguins
The rebuild is here for the Ottawa Senators. After weeks of speculation the Ottawa Senators have traded Derick Brassard to Pittsburgh Penguins.
The deal sees the Ottawa Senators trade Derick Brassard to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a first round pick in 2018, Filip Gustavsson, and Ian Cole.
The Return
Of the pieces coming back the two that are significant are the draft pick and Gustavsson. The draft pick will likely be in 25-31 range as the Penguins will contend for the Stanley Cup. However, a first round pick even a late one is good part of a package for Brassard.
