Rumor: DeBrusk to Edmonton

[Langdon Alger]

This isn’t a rumour.

Or a Toomah!

 

[jetsforever]

Would be a big trade

 

[bruins4thecup65]

I don’t think EDM has the pieces to make the Debrusk deal work as BOS is looking for Nurse.

 

[Mick Jagr]

Who the hell is Ian McLaren? lol

 

[ManofSteel55]

You’d give up Bear for a winger who’s never had 50 points in the nhl?

I wouldn't. But partially because our RD is awful without him.

 

[Hookslide]

Caleb Jones for Debrusk

But that kind of hurts the Oilers after the Klefbom injury

Bruins are not going to make that trade...........

 

[Merrrlin]

DeBrusk on McDavid's wing does sound pretty interesting to be honest.

I am not sold on DeBrusk, though. This guy goes from legit 1st line scorer and agitator to looking like a replacement level 3rd liner on any given night.

I don't know how evaluate players but you are really reaching when you DeBrusk an agitator.He is far from that.........

Disagree, he's got a little Marchand/Gallagher in him when he's at his best.

2nd line winger won't fetch a great return. Maybe a 2nd.

Didn’t Kapanen just get a mid first?

While Kapanen is on a good deal and was certainly overpaid for, which may make their returns more similar than they should be (assuming Jake is dealt) Debrusk is just a whole different caliber of player. That said, I dont see the Bruins trading him for a pick... it would be for a high end NHLer.

I am not getting into a pissing contest with you ,but you are way off base......

 

[John Mandalorian]

He’s from Ontario and he hosts a Bruins themed podcast. FWIW.

 

[Kranix]

Anyone know how legit this guy is? Just speculation or could it be more?

mods pls change the tag to speculation if this guy isn’t connected.

they Gotta restrict use of the rumor tag here.

do you remember what Kapanen returned just a month ago?

 

[TFHockey]

Yeah, Debrusk is worth much more than a 2nd. C'mon man.

However Nurse is an overpay.

Nurse wasn't happening pre Klefbom news, it sure as hell is not happening now.

Doesn't give him any credibility though.

 

[McOvechking]

Samorukov/Benson + Puljujarvi?

 

[The Hockey Tonk Man]

His dad works for CBC? Checks out, must be true. Can’t see the B’s trading a 2nd line winger and opening up an even bigger hole there

 

[McTonyBrar]

There have been talks between Edmonton and Boston about AA. Something could be worked out

Outside of those games against Kadri, which was mostly due to Kadri's actions, Debrusk has never had interest in agitating. He plays a simple game, north-south and keeps to himself.

 

[Big Muddy]

We will have to see if that is typical this season. I think JR's situation and strategy is different from most GMs. It could be an atypical return.

It maybe makes sense if the intent is to sign Hall. But the Bruins would be wiser to spend their money on defense- especially the left side- I'd think.

That's awfully kind of you.
