Brashear Demands Trade, Rangers put him on waivers
what a dink, he went public and Sather was like screw u buddy, lets pray he gets claimed. If not its still a cap hit but say hey to Hartford regardless
If he does'nt report I am sure they can terminate the contract ,wooo
I would love him back in DC. He was a great guy to have in the room and all the guys liked and respected him. He even wore the A on his sweater so you know Bruce trusted him.
He was a great forechecker and he made opposing dman hear footsteps when he was on the ice. It seemed like he enjoyed playing in DC and Bruce was able to get the best out of him. With a aggressive forechecking team like the caps he does well.
With Nylander of the books i think the caps might squeeze him in after they get their other priorities taken care of.
Would NY trade him for a 5th? You guys get something out of it and we take some salary of your book while getting back a great fourth line player.
Are you talking about Brashear or Eric Lindros? I've never seen the word "great" ascribed to this guy so many times in one post.
He is getting old and he got one last sweet contract.
Blame Sather if anyone for signing him. After all the hate NY had for Brash after the Betts hit last year i couldn't believe Sather signed him. I get the impression that Betts was a well liked guy in the Rangers room so it must have been really weird to have Brash in the NY lockerroom.
What the hell was Sather thinking signing him.?
That said i would love him back in DC.
Ah Donald. You had two good years of being a goon in Vancouver before you decided fighting wasn't your thing and that you could score.
I never liked him because we lost Gino due to Donald, but at least the first little while he was a good fighter. When he stopped fighting he was pretty useless to us. He also got into hugging. That seemed far more entertaining for him than actually fighting. He also always seemed on the edge of hating our management. One funny story:
Skills contest, hardest shot contest. Adrian Aucoin was the usual winner for the Canucks, but he had been traded that year. Donald wins the contest and the guy on the ice goes to interview him and Donald just shuts his questions down and goes "They traded Adrian thats why I won" then skates off.

He asked for a trade, which is understandable. Whats with the stuff about demanding a trade? Rangers would probably get a bag of pucks for him, but I bet someone would take him and then at least Sather would be able to erase yet another bad FA signing.
My atom team needs its bag of pucks more than it needs Don Brashear. pass.

Brash was very effective in his two year stint with the Caps. The only time i can remember where he cost the team was that Boston game a few years ago.
Other then that he was a great forchecker and he made his presence known on the ice everytime he went out with a big hit on the opposing dman.

It's not just about him "getting old." It's his attitude throughout the whole thing. Markus Naslund "got old" and was a shell of his former self during the second half of last season, yet Ranger fans have nothing but great things to say about him. Why? Because he still gave it his all, he didn't complain about anything, and showed nothing but respect to the organization. Brashear comes in here at the tail end of what was hardly a remarkable career, plays like absolute garbage, demands a trade, and then acts like the organization owes him anything.

He also died his sideburns blue once.
/donald brashear random info
Didn't he have a pretty good offensive year with the canucks a while ago?
I always thought he could play the game. It seems like he was pigeonholed into the role of a goon when he played junior. Which is a shame.
First Laraque now Brashear, its racism I tells ya! JK, in all seriousness the days of aging goons is rapidly coming to a close or a the very least a minimum requirement of being able to skate...
Or some french cries.
