Murray Pam of The Sporting News: Derick Brassard knows he could be traded before the trade deadline next week.
“I was traded before. I know it’s a business. There’s no hard feelings with anyone,” Brassard said after practice Friday in preparation for his 699th regular season game versus the Rangers, the team that dealt him to the Senators. “It’s the same when I got traded for Mika (Zibanejad). I got traded for a really good young player. I take it as a compliment. I know the GM’s and owners have to do a job.
