The Winnipeg Jets had interest in Derick Brassard, but he wasn’t a perfect fit for the team. I would’ve appreciated him, but it remains to be seen whether or not he would actually have improved the roster.
He was, however, shipped from Pittsburgh to the Florida Panthers, of all teams. Word on the street is that they’re clearing future payroll space for a run at Artemi Panarin and Sergei Bobrovsky, but who wouldn’t be interested in them?
Fortunately for the Jets, Panarin, Matt Duchene and Kevin Hayes are all still out there, and they’d all really improve the team.
