On Monday’s NHL trade deadline day, the Panthers added another team to journeyman center Derick Brassard’s NHL resume when they traded him to Colorado, the second time Brassard’s been traded in a month.
The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun reports that the Panthers also sent a conditional sixth-round pick to Colorado that the Panthers will keep if Brassard resigns with the Avalanche. In return, the Panthers got a third-round pick in 2020.
To go from his fifth NHL team to his sixth, Brassard merely had to get off the ice at the Panthers morning skate, take off his jersey and go down the hall to the home locker room — the Panthers play Colorado in Denver’s Pepsi Center on Monday night.
