context_page_description: Derick Brassard is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing for the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League.
  Brassard has previously played in the NHL for the Columbus Blue Jackets, New York Rangers, Ottawa Senators, Pittsburgh Penguins, Florida Panthers and Colorado Avalanche. He was selected in the first round, sixth overall, in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft by the Blue Jackets.
context_section_description: After three seasons with the Rangers, Brassard was traded along with a 2018 7th round draft pick to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for forward Mika Zibanejad and a 2018 2nd round draft pick on July 18, 2016. The trade had been agreed upon weeks prior, but the Senators were reluctant to pay a $2 million bonus that Brassard was due to receive on July 15, so the trade was stalled for a few weeks.
  In his first season with the Senators, Brassard would help defeat his former team, the New York Rangers, in the second round of the playoffs as Ottawa advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals before losing to the eventual Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins in seven games.
