How bad are both sides ready to move on? A team source confirms the Penguins have been informed by the Derick Brassard camp over the last couple days that they won’t block a trade to any teams on their no trade list, a list that is mostly Canadian teams. This was an issue for Ottawa last year as a trade was blocked to WPG by Brassard and would now put teams like EDM, WPG in play. Brassard is hoping for a trade to Columbus, sources continue to indicate.

Brassard will get more minutes on another team and produce more points. But he’s warm out his welcome on the Pens.
Winnipeg needs another offensive players with Ehlers out long term. Maybe Derrick Brassard and Jamie Olesiak for Jacob Trouba ?
Trading Brassard to CLB has ‘burning the Penguins” written all over it. His value is as low as its ever been but you can’t help but figure he will rediscover his form a-la-Perron when he leaves. I want him gone as much as the next fan at this point because he never found that fit but moving him to a potential 1st round match up is suicide
