Proposal: Getzlaf to Boston

[Montecristo]

Not sure if anaheim wants to move on from getzlaf or if he does but i think him going to a cup contender in the final year of his deal makes sense. The idea was pulled from the bruins board.

Debrusk


Anaheim gets younger boston gets bigger and more playoff pedigree. I assume boston adds something else like a 2nd or 3rd or prospect equivalent but debrusk is the main piece. Hows this?

He doesn't want to go anywhere and the team doesn't want to trade him. And that absolutely would not be the return.

Unrealistic. Just for the sake of this thread, it's a bit risky for the Bruins, but they pull the trigger I think.

 

[terranraida]

Getzlaf is in charge of his own destiny, and I have a feeling anaheim is gonna keep him around another season to mentor the kids and then he rides off into the sunset

We have our own aging centers. Love Getzlaf don’t get me wrong, but he’s not what we need right now.

You dont think he could help the bruins win the cup this year?

Perhaps, but there are more needs elsewhere that will cost less.

Great a 35 year old centre. You know the bruins struggled with DAvid Backes due to age and changed game. I think its an easy pass by Boston.

Getzlaf has already stated numerous times that he wont waive his NMC and wants to retire a Duck he's already won a cup with Anaheim so winning another one isn't important to him. And giving up Debrusk for a rental is insane.

Pass from the bruins, no interest for a 35 years old C and even less if it's for Debrusk

 

[Hockey Stick]

Man that would be real weird to see him in that jersey

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Is Getzlaf playing 2nd line RW now?
Not a need especially for one of our scoring wingers, even if Debrusk has struggled this season.

Thinking a top prospect and a first round pick gets it done or it’s off to Alberta for Jake

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Bruins already have an 35 year old center that is on his last year of his contract

 

[NK94]

Selling low on DeBrusk in order to get older again. Bold strategy.

 

[McDonald19]

Getzlaf probably isn’t waiving his NMC.

Ducks can give you Heinen back instead.....

 

[Hookslide]

Bruins should hold off on moving DeBrusk right now and hope he rights the ship, he just is really struggling . You are better off waiting and hope his stock goes up unless someone blows you away and with all due respect Getzlaf at 36yrs old and a 7.5 mil a year with 4yrs this after this season just doesn't cut it........

Getzlaf is a UFA after this season, not signed for 4 more after this year.

You got all of this information wrong, Getzlaf is 35 and is in the final year of a deal that pays an AAV of 8.25M

I apologize , my mistake you are right I read it wrong..........Still not interested though

No worries, Getzlaf at this point is just a 2C. He's good if he's the missing piece to a strong team, but he's not going to be an elite player anymore.

Short answer. No, not really. Should focus on younger and quicker. We have the vet center presence. That's one need I am NOT worried about.

There are valid reasons for not wanting to trade for Getzlaf, but comparing him to Backes is laughable.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Favors the Ducks and all the Ducks fans shooting this down are doing from a point of stubbornness because DeBrusk is a solid young top 6 winger which is worth more than an over the hill center, who is approaching where Marleau, Thornton, Spezza have been the past couple years- solid players but if we are being honest are shells of the players they'll be remembered as
