Glen Sather’s 5 Best Moves GM
5. Derek Brassard / Derek Dorsett / John Moore / Sixth Round Pick
In April of 2013, Glen Sather worked some of that Jedi magic when he traded Marian Gaborik and two prospects to the Columbus Bue Jackets for Derek Brassard, Derek Dorsett, John Moore, and a sixth round draft pick.
The only reason this deal isn’t higher on the list is because it remains to be seen if Brassard will someday be a consistent top-tier player.
This deal is highway robbery at it’s best, as the Rangers were looking to deal an aging Gaborik whose production was down.
Both Derek Brassard and Derek Dorsett would become integral of the 2013-2014 Stanley Cup Final team.
Although irony would strike hard, as Marian Gaborik would also become an integral part of the Los Angeles Kings team that defeated the New York Rangers in 5 games.
