Value aside this makes the Bruins a lot worse on the ice and the Leafs a lot better. Both teams are looking to compete now. Bruins pass.
Boston isn’t trading their 1D. Would you trade Rielly for a 1st, DeBrusk, Vaakanainen, and Lauzon?
Which one of these players is equivalent to Nylander or Dermott ?
This is a fleecing by Boston to get that package. Mcavoy is great but that’s a lot of value.
If we are nitpicking. Debrusk is certainly at least at the level of Dermott and perhaps Nylander. Vaak should be better than Dermott also.

Debrusk similar to Dermott okay maybe. But to Nylander not even close.
Vaak should could would, until he’s not he’s not. If we’re going by this trade he’d be the Lil swap in on a reverse trade.
I think if you had Nylander and we had Debrusk, you would call us homer Leaf fans for saying that.
Vaak has a long way to go to be better than Dermott. Dermott was the better prospect at the same age and has developed nicely.
I'm sure a lot of people would rather have Debrusk than Dermott, this isn't really an "okay maybe similar" situation. Agreed on Nylander though.
And I’m sure a lot of people would rather have Dermott so it certainly is a maybe situation. Going by current NHL value a top 4 d man > top 6 winger. Maybe Dermott is currently just under a top 4 but Debrusk is also just under a top 6. I feel this year Debrusk will be a top 6 and Dermott a top 4 though
Don't think this is true. Vaak was a 1st round pick and rated higher at the time I believe.
Pass on glasshouse matthews too,charlie tuna ain't going anywhere.Long story short, if it isn't for Matthews then don't bother picking up the phone
I just disagree, I think the majority would rather have Debrusk. It would be a good poll I think.
Debrusk played in the top 6 the entire year last year, not really sure what you're talking about "just under top six." He and Krejci have great chemistry.
They play in different leagues, so we won't really know until Vaak hits the AHL or NHL. Draft + 2 was when Dermott rose to be a significant prospect, so we'll see if Vaak has the same trajectory. In Dermott's D +3, he became a regular. That's a healthy trajectory for a defenceman, regardless of draft position. Vaak might have higher potential (not sure if I agree with that).
A symbiotic relationship ? Ok ,could be! I was hinting at the confidence factor seeing as how Charlie likely feels very protected out there! When Chara is done,opponents will not respect Charlie as much...it will be a different feel for him .I can tell you he is an excellent influence on his game and the McAvoy has pretty much rejuvenated Chara's career. It's a relationship that has been mutually beneficial.
I think McAvoy is awesome but the Bruins would absolutely trade him for Matthews.Dermott is small sample size, and liljegren is no sample size.. yet ive seen a leaf fan claim liljegren will be > mcavoy... or that mcavoy is overated
Really no point for boston to move him to toronto at all.... unless matthews is in deal and even then its questionable
Jesus. The Leafs are getting FLEECED here.
McAvoy and Donato for Carrick, Leivo and a 2nd. You will take it and you will love it, Boston!
I would question your hockey knowledge if this was serious. I get the Bruins won't deal McAvoy, but if Matthews was offered....they'd be nuts to say no.
Bruins should not be trading McAvoy....period.
