Senators Trade Derick Brassard to the Penguins

‘Big Game Brass’ is headed to the ‘City of bridges’.

Pending league review, the Ottawa Senators dealt centre Derick Brassard to the Pittsburgh Penguins for a 2018 first round pick, goaltending prospect Filip Gustavsson and defenceman Ian Cole.

At this time, it’s not known what the hold up on an official announcement is, but apparently the deal is more complex than it’s being made out to be.

Just talked to someone who said of the Brassard deal "The league hasn't weighed in on it yet, this one is a complex one."

Brassard is in the second last year of a contract that pays him $3.
