For that price, Buffalo would happily retain 50%.
Buffalo says yes easily.
That said, I think it's a bit too pricey for Boston. I think the far simpler deal is Hall @50% for a 2nd and DeBrusk
As the person above me has said, a 2nd and Debrusk for Hall @ 50% is closer to actual value. I’m not sure Debrusk is the guy the Bruins want to be getting rid of before playoff time. I think he’s a scrappy third liner (possibly 2nd line) come playoff time, so they’d be looking to add Hall for the second line but not at the expense of that depth. The fit for Hall on the Bruins is definitely there though.

edited it to be 50% since buff can afford it. while "actual value" may be debrusk and a 2nd, I feel that Hall being the best winger available adds to his value, if the bruins don't pay a first, someone else will. (I could see toronto going after Hall at 50% retained as well)
2nd/DeBrusk for Hall at 50% sounds more realistic than the 1st.
Is Trent Frederic available?
Nope, stick to HallWhat about a package of Hall & Reinhart. Would something like a 1st, 2nd, Debrusk and Vaakainen do it?
According to my Bruins fan homies - they would like to keep frederic, but he's not untouchable
To BUF:
Khulman
2021 2nd
To BOS:
Hall @ 50%
The OP has way too much going from the Bruins for a guy that is having a tough year. BOS would totally be in "Hope and Pray" mode with this trade. Khulman is a bottom six guy with a nice shot and the pick is well, a pick...

If that salary works, I'd do 2nd+Frederic for Hall(50%)

If Buffalo wants to move Hall with Reinhart then DeBrusk and first would be in play certainly.
The only untouchables the Bruins should have in my view Bergey, McAvoy, and CarloAccording to my Bruins fan homies - they would like to keep frederic, but he's not untouchable
Buffalo just goes elsewhere then.
Boston is 100% in hope and pray mode if they'd like to attempt to win a cup before their core falls apart.
"way too much" is just silly when you're talking about a late 1st and a player who has 7 points this season...
I'd be interested in a Hall(50%) for Frederic + pick deal where you keep DeBrusk, but that probably involves salary from BOS to BUF elsewhere, and I dk how to accomplish that part.
