Derick Brassard reportedly to sign with Coyotes
The Islanders are on the verge of losing a fourth member from last season’s Eastern Conference finalists.
Third-liner Derick Brassard reportedly will sign a one-year deal with the Coyotes, leaving the Islanders with several options to fill his role.
Brassard, 33, had 10 goals and 22 assists in 66 regular-season games and added two goals and six assists in 18 postseason games on a one-year, $1.2 million deal after splitting 2018-19 between the Penguins, Panthers and Avalanche. Brassard toggled between center and wing before blending well with fellow Ottawa-area native Jean-Gabriel Pageau after the Islanders acquired the center from the Senators at the trade deadline.
