DeBrusk and a third rounder for Sweet Potato?

As unlikely as they come

RUMOR: DEBRUSK TO OILERS? – Dom – Hockey (wordpress.com)

“Always look at the cap ramifications in any so called deal.” I agree Dom.

He is one of if not the smallest ( weight wise ) players in the NHL who produces very mediocre offense, why in the world should the Bruins be interested in this featherweight, furthermore he wouldn't be of much use in the playoffs.

5’8 come on no thanks let’s pass unless he’s another Marchand or Gaudreau which is pretty doubtful.

If he were another Marchand or Gaudreau why in hell would anyone trade him for DeBrusk?

Small, speedy forward with excellent hockey sense and quick hands…has a strong work ethic that keeps him going, Futureconsiderations.ca 2017

Below the goal-line, Yamamoto is elusive and can carve his way to the net using extremely strong outside edges, Hockeyprospect.com 2017

Breaking News didn’t know where to put

caller to Sports Hub declared Bruins dead and used Sweenius

called Ullmark a horrible signing

lol

 

[DKH]

DeBrusk has speed and elite shot

unless you are getting a better player you keep him his teammates love him

 

[Over the volcano]

How are the Coyotes feeling about Keller these days - know he pooped up a while back as a potential trade candidate because of his contract and stagnation.

IMO The biggest issue with this club going forward is the impending post Bergeron era and how close it may be. Keller would check a whole lot of boxes on the roster and in the room - he has a good history with McAvoy and Frederic.

I've been as critical of DeBrusk as anyone, but it's going to be so f*cked up when the Bruins start leaking BS to their lapdogs in the media to smear him. I can already picture the articles about how he's addicted to Oreos/McDonald's and is soft mentally and can't handle criticism.

We've seen it before when Kessel, Seguin, and Hamilton were shipped out the door. Kessel was a bad guy and not a great teammate for wanting more money after scoring 36 goals. Seguin was a maniac who loved beer and women and needed a guard posted outside of his room. Hamilton was a loner who liked museums and demanded out (even though Sweeney denied that in a PC).

Yamamoto is decent, but yeah...

Can you find something that isn't 4.5 years old?

 

[Sheppy]

Yamamoto does not play his size at all. I would prefer him over Debrusk, fit wise.

I've watched a bit of Yamamoto, he's not bad. There's skill there, there's some aggressiveness, but that's going to immediately go out the window when Yamamoto is playing for Cassidy.

LOL no.

 

[Sheppy]

Yamamoto has 2 shots on goal in his last 10 games playing 13-20 minutes a night.

RUMOR: DEBRUSK TO OILERS? – Dom – Hockey (wordpress.com)

In fairness, the tweet clearly says fluid and not 1:1, which opens up an entire world of possibility

either way, no thanks if that's the main piece coming back

 

[remer]

The Bruins need to be tougher not softer. 5’8. And 150 pds is the reason why he is not succeeding in the NHL
Wow! Add Achan to the roster and Yamamoto, this team will be full of tiny boppers.

Did you read his article? Or the tweet he made later when someone asked who was adding and he said Boston?

In his own article he says Jake DeBrusk + a 3rd round pick for Kailer Yamamoto.

I think I was fair to him. I could have been honest though and called it bullshit but then @DKH would be on the phone giving me shit

 

[duffy]

He doesn't use his speed or his shot so who is going to give you a good player. What you might get is a draft pick or a player who is also not playing up to their potential. As for the team mates love him, throw him in a Bear Suit and he can be a mascot. Either way get what you can and put someone in his spot that would at least give you 100% effort.

This is a really long thread, no?

I believe Cassidy got a wake up call

expect him to have the patience of a kindergarten teacher

 

[DKH]

Tomas Hertl Is better then I ever thought

watched him last night vs Flyers and he wins whoever gets him Cup assuming Sharks don’t sign

phenomenal

Lol

I love DeBrusk I want him to succeed very badly

he’s got to play near net

good size
Good skating
Elite shot

all about compete

great talking to you Dom

I can already hear Edwards in the first scrum he’s in. ‘It’s not the size of the dog in the fight….’

 

[UncleRico]

As an oiler fan he goes MIA sometimes.

As I said I am an oiler fan and I am trying to be unbiased as I can.

Oilers have had to use the nuclear option of using McDavid and Leon in the same line too often because when the shit gets real Yamamoto and everyone else who plays in the top 6 goes MIA

So that includes Yamamoto who is not quite the main whipping boy he is moving up the depth chart in that way.

I think Yamamoto could be helped with a change of scenery and with the right players he could do a lot of damage.

What concerns me if you guys are getting Rask back... I think that you guys move Ullmark and not Swayman. The kid looks good and just needs time to develop and getting rask back helps. What scares me is the oilers may take Ullmark off your hands. Never been a fan of his and do not like that contract

So Yamamoto is just Edmonton’s version of Debrusk except much smaller.

 

[DominicT]

LOL, you ain't seen nothing yet!

 

[DKH]

I expect the Bruins are going to kick ass the rest of the season

healthy
Good attitude
Focus on only nhl season
Rask presence significant in room and ice

Bruins goalie situation best in game

Tampa loses goalie & even with Hedman McDonagh point Stamkos Palat etc get beat 9-3

Feeling it like it’s 2019 !!!!!
