Regular Season History

Not a great season for a guy in a contract year.

After coming off of a disappointing playoff performance in 2017-18, the general consensus was that Brassard had to have been playing injured, and surely he would bounce back for the 2018-19 season. That was never really the case, from the time the season started to the time he was traded to Florida along with Riley Sheahan and some draft picks in exchange for Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann.
