Career

youth

Brassard began his ice hockey career as a 16-year-old when he joined the Voltigeurs de Drummondville from the Canadian junior league Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec during the 2003/04 season. In the rest of the season he played ten games in the regular season and seven more in the subsequent playoffs. He was able to book his first scorer point in the league with an assist . Before the beginning of the 2004/05 game year, the trained center completed the season preparation with the Voltigeurs for the first time and showed a great improvement in his rookie season . With 76 points in 69 games, he was just behind Guillaume Latendresse , who scored two points more, the second best scorer of his team in the course of the season. In addition, he was awarded the Michel Bergeron Trophy for the best offensive rookie of the year, the Coupe RDS for the best rookie in the entire league and the election to the all-rookie team. Inspired by the various awards, Brassard went into the following season, in which he showed himself improved again with 116 scorer points in 59 matches and was awarded with the appointment to the LHJMQ First All-Star Team. In the 2006 NHL Entry Draft that followed, the Canadian was selected in sixth overall position by the Columbus Blue Jackets . Since he was also the first player to be selected from the LHJMQ, he received another award for this with the Michael Bossy Trophy . Despite the early choice in the draft, Brassard remained in the Canadian Junior League for another year, but was only able to complete 14 regular season and twelve playoff games due to a stubborn shoulder injury.

After the end of his third full season in the junior division, Brassard signed his first professional contract in the organization of the Columbus Blue Jackets in the summer of 2007. First, the franchise from the US state of Ohio put him in the American Hockey League at the Syracuse Crunch , where he found his way straight away and was named the best newcomer to the league in the first month of the season. After a broken jaw had put him out of action for two months, the Blue Jackets ordered their first-round draft pick on January 10, 2008 for the first time in the NHL squad, of which he was part of 17 games until February 27. He gets one goal and one assist. Back in shape and back in the AHL, Brassard impressed with 26 scorer points in the last month and a half of the 2007/08 season . In total, he managed 51 in 42 regular season games and 13 more in as many playoffs. However, in order to get a permanent place in the regular squad of the NHL team, the Canadian stayed in the summer break in Columbus, where he kept fit with the help of the coaching staff and began preparing for the 2008/09 season early on . This finally paid off when he stayed in the NHL squad after the pre-season training camp. With ten points scorer in the nine games of the first month of the season, he was named NHL Rookie of the Month October 2008. However, his first NHL season ended prematurely on December 18, as he dislocated his shoulder during a game. He therefore had to undergo an operation that was synonymous with the end of the season. At that time, the striker and Kris Versteeg were at the top of the rookie scorer ranking with 25 points from 31 games .

For the trade deadline on April 3, 2013, he was transferred to the New York Rangers . After the 2015/16 season, Brassard made his debut in the Canadian national team at the 2016 World Cup , where he won the gold medal with the team. In July 2016, the Rangers gave him, including a seven-round vote for the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, to the Ottawa Senators , who in return sent Mika Zibanejad and a second-round vote to New York for the same year. Brassard then stayed in the Canadian capital for a good one and a half seasons before the Senators began restructuring in February 2018. Together with Vincent Dunn and a third round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 2018 he was sent to the Pittsburgh Penguins discharged while Ottawa Ian Cole , Filip Gustavsson and a first-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 2018 and a third-round vote in the NHL Entry Draft in 2019 was . The Vegas Golden Knights , who were also involved in the transfer , also gave Tobias Lindberg to the Penguins and took over 40 percent of Brassard's salary. In return, they received Ryan Reaves and a four-round election in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft.

After about a year in Pittsburgh, Brassard was transferred to the Florida Panthers in early February 2019 along with Riley Sheahan as well as a second-round suffrage and two fourth-round suffrage for the 2019 NHL Entry Draft . For this, the penguins received Nick Bjugstad and Jared McCann . The Canadian was only on the team for three weeks and played ten games before he was sent to the Colorado Avalanche for a third-round vote in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft at the end of the same month . If the Avalanche should not commit the player beyond the end of the season, Colorado would get an additional six-round option in the same draft. This did not subsequently happen, as the Canadian joined the New York Islanders as a free agent in August 2019 .
