Flyers sign Brassard

Sam Carchidi: The Philadelphia Flyers have signed forward Derick Brassard to a one-year contract with an AAV of $825,000.

  • Bill Beltzer: “At 34, Derrick Brassard is no longer the player he was for the Rangers under AV. It also further complicated the cap math. But it’s a cheap signing and he’s still a serviceable 3C for the short term.”
  • Charlie O’Connor: “Interesting. Well, there’s some center depth. It’s a cheap deal and bury-able, so I imagine Brassard will have to win a job at camp.”
  • Charlie O’Connor: “Keith Yandle is the insurance policy if Cam York isn’t ready. Derick Brassard is most likely the same for Morgan Frost.”
