Maybe you still have no idea what to make of Derick Brassard, his role, or whether or not his acquisition has worked for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Ask most Penguins fans and they will probably tell you it has been a disappointment and not at all what they expected. Is that a fair assessment?
When Brassard arrived in Pittsburgh just before the trade deadline a season ago he came with huge expectations and excitement.
He was supposed to be the missing piece to fill the vacated third-line center hole and help lead the Penguins to a third consecutive Stanley Cup.
