Conclusion...................................................................................................................... 8 1 1. INTRODUCTION & OVERVIEW [1] This is a matter of salary arbitration between Derick Brassard (“Brassard” or “the Player”) and the New York Rangers (“the Rangers” or “the Club”), pursuant to Article 12 of the 2013 Collective Bargaining Agreement (the “CBA”) between the National Hockey League (the “NHL”) and the National Hockey League Players Association (the “NHLPA”). [2] Throughout this brief, all references to salary will be made using Average Annual Value. A. THE PLAYER’S POSITION [3] Based on Brassard’s offensive and defensive performance (both platform year and career), physical game, faceoff prowess, and additional considerations, appropriate compensation is at least $5,100,000 million. B. DERICK BRASSARD [4] Derick Brassard was a 1st round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets (6th overall) in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft.1 On April 3rd 2013, Brassard was traded from the Columbus Blue Jackets – along with Derek Dorsett, John Moore, and a 6th round draft pick – to the New York Rangers in exchange for Marian Gaborik and two minor league defensemen (Steven Delisle and Blake Parlett)2. Brassard made his Rangers debut the night of the trade, scoring 1 goal and 3 assists3. [5] Brassard is regarded as well-rounded, two-way forward with strong offensive upside.4 An excellent power play performer, the Player possesses a great wrist-shot and play-making ability5. In the 2013-14 NHL season Brassard posted 45 points (18 goals and 27 assists) and a +2 rating while playing in 81 games6. 1 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8473544 2 http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/551969/ 3 http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=400443012 4http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?5025 5 Ibid. 6 Supra note 1. 2 2. SELECTION OF COMPARABLE PLAYERS [6] In order to properly assess the market value of Derick Brassard, comparable players must be selected to measure Brassard’s NHL performance against. Comparable players will be selected using the following criteria: age, platform year performance, career performance, style of play, role on their respective team, and NHL experience. [7] The comparable players selected to use throughout the remainder of the brief are: Sam Gagner, C, Arizona Coyotes and Tyler Ennis, C, Buffalo Sabres. [8] Both these players are similar to Brassard in terms of age, statistical production, style of play (playmaking centers), role on their respective teams (scoring line forwards), and NHL experience. Both players also satisfy the requirements for arbitration eligibility as per the Official HACC Rules and Article 12 of the CBA. [9] Prior to signing a three year $4.8 million (AAV7) contract during the 2013 off-season, Sam Gagner had 6 years of NHL experience with the Edmonton Oilers. Gagner was selected 6th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft8. Gagner is two years younger than Brassard. Like Brassard, Gagner is regarded as an excellent playmaker with offensive upside9. [10] Tyler Ennis, two years younger than Brassard, was selected 26th overall in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft by the Buffalo Sabres10. Ennis was signed to a five year, $4.6 million contract during the 2014 off-season11. Like Brassard, Ennis is regarded is a talented playmaker seen as having significant potential12. Prior to signing his five year contract in the 2014 off-season, Ennis had 4 seasons of NHL experience. 7 http://capgeek.com/player/23 8 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8474040 9 http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?6052 10 http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8474589 11 http://www.capgeek.com/player/1572 12 http://forecaster.thehockeynews.com/hockeynews/hockey/player.php?6685 3 3. BRASSARD VS. GAGNER – BRASSARD DEMONSTRATES SIMILAR OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION WITH A MORE ‘COMPLETE’ GAME [11] Brassard’s and Gagner’s career statistics are listed below.

[13] Although Gagner does hold a slight edge in historical offensive production, it is notable that Brassard in his platform year out-performed Gagner not only in terms of PPG but also absolute point totals. This fact, combined with Brassard possessing a more complete game than Gagner, justifies Brassard being compensated above Gagner’s salary of $4.8M – compensation of at least $5.1M is warranted. [14] Evidencing Brassard’s more complete game is his defensive superiority, as reflected by his +/- rating. While Brassard has been a plus player since joining the Rangers (and for fully half of his NHL career i.e. 3 out of 6 seasons), Gagner has been a plus player only once. Moreover, in 13 Supra note 1. 14 Supra note 8. 4 2013-14 Gagner was -29. Although Edmonton possessed a poor goal differential, Nail Yakupov was the only Oiler with a worse +/- rating (-33)15, negating any argument that Gagner’s +/- can be attributed to team shortcomings. Furthermore, Gagner turns the puck over far more frequently than Brassard. Since 2008-2009, Brassard has given the puck away 123 times in 386 games. By contrast, Gagner has committed 244 turnovers over the same period. This represents 121 additional giveaways, despite Gagner only playing in 16 more contests than Brassard (402 GP) Giveaways Since 2008-09 80 60 40 Brassard 20 Gagner 0 2008-09 2009-10 2010-11 2011-12 2012-13 2013-14 Number of Giveaways of Number [15] Moreover, Brassard contributes a physical element that Gagner lacks. Brassard has never registered less than 40 hits in a season. When playing close to 82 games, the Player has consistently posted 97 hits or more (often exceeding 120 hits). Gagner has never posted more than 40 hits in a season. [16] Finally, Brassard is the better faceoff man. As their career FO%s indicate, Brassard has out-performed Gagner in this area 4 out of the 6 seasons they have simultaneously competed in the NHL. Although the difference in their FO% is slight, even slim margins make a significant difference over the duration of one’s contract. With centers taking 100s of draws per year – in some cases over 1000 – the implications for puck possession in key situations are substantial. 15http://www.nhl.com/ice/playerstats.htm?fetchKey=20142EDMSASALL&viewName=plusMinus&sort=p lusMinus&pg=2 5 4. BRASSARD VS. ENNIS – BRASSARD DEMONSTRATES SIMILAR OFFENSIVE PRODUCTION WITH A MORE ‘COMPLETE’ GAME [17] The career statistics of Brassard and Ennis are listed below. Derick Brassard16 Tyler Ennis17 Season Tm GP G A P PPG +/- Hits FO% Tm GP G A P PPG +/- Hits FO% 2007-08 Did not meet 25 GP threshold to constitute rookie season (17 GP) Did not play 2008-09 Cbj 31 10 15 25 0.81 +12 40 49% Did not play Did not meet 25 GP threshold to constitute rookie season (10 2009-10 Cbj 79 9 27 36 0.46 -17 97 42% GP) 2010-11 Cbj 74 17 30 47 0.64 -11 121 47% Buf 82 20 29 49 0.60 0 42 22% 2011-12 Cbj 74 14 27 41 0.55 -20 137 45% Buf 48 15 19 34 0.71 +11 26 46% Cbj/ 2012-13 Nyr 47 12 17 29 0.62 +1 73 48% Buf 47 10 21 31 0.66 -14 28 42% 2013-14 Nyr 81 18 27 45 0.56 +2 124 48% Buf 80 21 22 43 0.54 -25 89 39% [18] As illustrated above, Brassard’s offensive numbers are very comparable to those Tyler Ennis. Excluding the 2011-12 season, during which Ennis missed significant time due to an ankle injury18, the two players have never had their respective point totals separated by more than 2 points. Therefore, based strictly on offensive production, Brassard warrants compensation equal to Ennis (4.6M). However, given that Brassard possesses a much more “complete” game than Ennis, it becomes clear that appropriate compensation must be over $4.6M – compensation of at least $5.1M is warranted. [19] Upon observing the number of hits each player delivers, it becomes readily apparent that Brassard’s physical game trumps Ennis’.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 22, 2019 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF SECOND-ROUND BERTHS AT STAKE IN GAME 7 DOUBLEHEADER TUESDAY NEW YORK (April 22, 2019) -- Two Stanley Cup Playoff series will be decided in a Game 7 doubleheader Tuesday when the Boston Bruins play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, CBC, TVAS), followed by the San Jose Sharks facing the Vegas Golden Knights (10 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVAS). The past two playoff series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs have culminated in unprecedented Game 7 drama, both occurring at TD Garden. In 2013, Boston became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win a Game 7 (Boston 5, Toronto 4 ,OT). In 2018, the Bruins became the first team in League history to overcome three deficits of at least one goal to win a Game 7 in regulation (Boston 7, Toronto 4). Five current Bruins appeared in both the 2013 and 2018 contests: goaltender Tuukka Rask, defenseman Zdeno Chara and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci. Two Maple Leafs players have done so: defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri. Chara (0-4--4 in 12 GP) is set to tie an NHL record by playing in his 13th career Game 7, joining all-time co-leaders Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.
