The Derick Brassard trade required some re-tooling, but it's a done deal.

Here's the full trade, as confirmed by the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night:

Pittsburgh receives Brassard, forward Vincent Dunn, winger Tobias Lindberg, and a third-round pick in 2018.

The Ottawa Senators get defenseman Ian Cole, goaltending prospect Filip Gustavsson, a first-rounder in 2018, and a third-round selection in 2019.

Finally, the Vegas Golden Knights acquire forward Ryan Reaves and a fourth-rounder in June's draft.

The Golden Knights are also retaining 40 percent of Brassard's salary this season as part of the trade.

He's earning $3.5 million in total salary this season and next, per CapFriendly, and his cap hit is $5 million.

The NHL reportedly asked the three teams involved to rework the deal earlier Friday.

The Senators and Penguins reportedly agreed on the first version of the swap Friday afternoon before getting the Golden Knights involved.
