Jake Debrusk has scored 27 goals in the NHL while missing 14 games that season. If he comes in at 3.5 million and plays good two way hockey, you don't think he's a big chip in order to land a Laine? Who keep in mind will be asking for 9-10 million? Its crazy how people keep mentioning Studnicka like he's the second coming of jesus. The guy has done nothing in the NHL to show he's going to be a star. Meanwhile Debrusk would have put up over 30 if he had played a full season and will cost the Jets anywhere from 5-6-7 million less a year than Laine. People's expectations around trades are insane. Look at the big picture
So why can’t the Bruins get a top 2 D-man paired with McAvoy for Debrusk. I don’t care about the cap. If JD is this and that why can’t they move him and get a second pairing D-man. Would Calgary move Debrusk for Hanifin ... no picks , no other players thrown in, , no extra salary thrown in, no other prospects thrown in . Straight up! and go sign Hoffman. Please stop with this nonsense your playing all these can’t miss kids . Some might stick they aren’t all sticking.
