This is a interesting proposal, I think that the Jets would be interested. But there would likely have to be a pick coming back. Like a second. Laine is an elite goal scorer and Debrusk has be okay and Carlo is a second pairing guy by all accounts.

It’s magic when Jimmy “thin skins” Murphy on rare occasion still shows up. Typical posts from Murphy go something like this:
“Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. Slainte”
Then he gets callled out on it. And replies with something like this:
“Angry bullshit. Don’t you know who I am? You peons know nothing”
Depending on just how angry he is, the second post might or might not get the Slainte tacked on.
Poor Jimmy, desperately wanting to be the real deal, yet not quite that. His LinkedIn page lists 17 years of hockey writing AND 4 years of bartending!
It comes across like old Old Murph would like to be seen as some sort of first generation Irish immigrant who tend their tavern and while washing a glass, tell yer a wee tale or too about the inside story that Bruins management just can’t resist spilling to the charming lad who owns an old Irish watering hole in Quincy Market — or better yet Southie.

Still, it’s at a minimum very confusing why some proven unreliable sources are banned, but a clear exception seems to be made for Elkund, regardless of how long and how consistently unreliable he’s proven to be.

Paul Maurice has killed Patrik Laine's reputation as an elite goal scorer. His trade value is not based on him as a goal scorer. It is based on him as a good offensive forward.

Laine for Carlo, Debrusk, and a 1st (or 2nd) is horrible for the Bruins.
Selling low on a player doesn't lead to a premium.
I think the original poster was suggesting a 1st and Laine for Debrusk and Carlo. That I think is a overpayment from the Jets which is why I said a pick would need to come back.
Jets keep Laine and the Bruins keep Carlo and DeBrusk , how is that for a deal ?

Maybe value-wise, but we don't have the RD depth to lose Carlo. Vaak should be moved for similarly valued prospect at RD or RW.
I think its more likely he would be moved for a top 4 LD that is good enough for the Bruins to be OK with Gryz playing for Seattle.
That's brutal from a Jets POV, even without the pick.

I would love to trade Carlo.......But DeBrusk and Carlo are an over payment for Laine. Carlo, Bjork and a number 2 is fair for Laine.
Then trade DeBrusk and Zboril plus a one for OEL.....
March-Bergie Pasta
Laine Krejci-Smith
Kase--Coyle- Studnika
Walker-Kuraly-Sandstrom
Ritchie
McAvoy, Louzan
Vaak, OEL,
Gryz Chara
Miller Moore Clifton..........
Thats a Dangerous team,

Why are in love with the idea of trading Carlo ? OEL contract is dumb to take on trading two young productive players for OEL make no sense at all...............I am not saying they are untouchable , but I like to make a deal to improve my team that deal does not.

it simply aint going to make any sense at all for boston to be setting aside cap space for laine. theres only room for 1 pure shooter on a good pp unit. theres only room for 1 pure shooter on a good top line in this nhl
pastrnak is at worst the equal of laine and already in boston.
im not saying laine sucks... or he wouldnt be a great fit for 20-25 teams out there... but boston has other needs they must spend their available cap room on before searching out some 1 dimensional shooting winger.
as for vaakanainen being shopped... lets look at the logic of that
i think its safe to say boston is pretty happy with mcavoy/carlo penciled in as the top 2 right hand shot dmen. theres some offense... some size... some heart... and the cost might be managable
then comes the question who fits along side them?
grezlyck is going to get an audition... but does he score enough to make up for his lack of size? as a stop gap i see why he will get his chance but my gut says hes vulnurable to lose his spot if someone else comes along
lauzon showed alot of stuff bruin fans love to see last year... grit and size is his stength... does that make him more of a bottom pair guy? will he satisfy anyone pushed into service as a top 4? my gut says he could be the one made available in a trade if we are trading any younguns because we are loaded with bottom pair options.
zboril is the kid that has the rep for slow development... but the tools that made him a consenus top rounder are still there. and he has been coachable. he has been improving. he is about to get his chance so we shall see what is what.
in reality... these 3 guys might be enough to block vaakanainen. if everything works out for them, vaakainen might become the logical trade target. but it hasnt happened yet
we got some other interesting names that figure to try to compete. a little offensive wiz in ahcan that might rise up quick. a big leadership beast in wolfe. i think these guys are more likely bottom pair options so that brings me back to the idea that lauzon might be the logical guy to move
we need to see how kevan miller stays healthy... if he is healthy he holds down the 3rd right hand spot. clifton is an energy guy that wont hold his regular job if theres better options but is ideally set up to be a 7th dman
if someone throws us a legit top 4 lhs dman and demands vaakanainen back i could see it happen... but then theres the question of cap management and the covid slow down in the economy
i dont see any legs to this rumor/story at all other than hockey writers have little to write about now and need to justify their salaries. i wish something sexy was going on but the bruins have basically made their decesions
the one last question before camp is whether chara is coming back or not

Who are Walker and Sandstrom?
I’m sure the Bruins would have moved him. Word is that they wanted Studnicka which the Bruins can’t do with the age of Bergeron/Krejci.
edit: didn’t see you were a yotes fan and probably already knew that
