Yeah, the salary for next year is awesome. Awful lot to give up for him, though. That Reaves trade is still so freaking bad. It is almost like GMJR thought he had to make one terrible trade, so folks still thought they might be able to rip him off. Reaves essentially cost us a 2017 1st and 2018 3rd and all we got was Tobias Lindstrom. Yuck.
Would be great to be able to upgrade at D from Hunwick, but they should at least be able to do that this offseason since they save so much on Brassard. They can bring back the exact same team next year with room to resign Hornqvist and get a solid 2nd pair D, especially if they trade Sheary or Hagelin.
