Bruins offer DeBrusk, Grzelcyk, first, Steen (no to Lysell, Lohrei, Swayman)
We could take DeBrusk but he would be an add in, not the main return.
We'd want Carlo instead of Gryz just based off of what we already have on the roster and Gryz's age (he's a better player than most non-Boston fans expect).
As we don't want Left D, Lohrei isn't of interest. Swayman could be a Helle replacement but I don't think it's good business to trade a 1C for a goalie as a major part of the return either, so not an issue that Swayman isn't available.
With Carlo we'd be getting a 2nd pair Right Dman that is in his prime with term. DeBrusk doesn't really help us out so I'd rather not include him in the trade but as his trade request still stands we can use him and it will be fun to say that you shipped him up to Winnipeg for the fanbase, but those are 2 sort of underwhelming pieces for a PPG 1C with that contract so I would need something with some more sizzle. Right shot forwards with top 6 upside are something we could use more of. You may say great, I've got Jack Studnicka for you but I'm not sold on him. He's going to be 24 next year and hasn't been able to break in yet. So in my view it's pretty much got to be Lysell and then the Jets add to give you back a right D to replace Carlo or see if there's something else that you'd need that we have.
Carlo, Lysell + DeBrusk for Scheif + ???? To me that is the deal with Boston or else we go somewhere else.
The thing is Bergy could retire and Pasta is going into his walk year, Marchand is going to be 34, Hall 31. In my view Boston needs to do something to convince Pasta to stay and the age of the roster means you hold it together for 2-3 more years and then it's rebuild time or you don't add a top 6 C and Pasta walks in a year and this season is your last real kick at it for a while.
I feel like there will be pressure for Boston to bring someone in. Maybe that isn't Scheif, but he might be the most realistic option out there.
