Eklund Rumor: Zacha for DeBrusk been discussed

[BatVader]

You all realize every time he’s right, we get closer to a global end life event?

 

[The don godfather]

Makes sense

 

[Smitty426]

What has Eklund broke recently?

SJS/Minny

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

What has Eklund broke recently?

Kahkonen, Chiarot, and Fleury

 

[The don godfather]

In what world is Zacha a 2nd line C?

Zacha is playing well only 24 . Whynot

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

In what world is Zacha a 2nd line C?

In a world where Nosek and Haula are currently your 1 and 2C on a contender

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I am finding myself routing for Eklund now

 

[5cotland]

Zacha is playing well only 24 . Whynot

No denying he is playing well.

He is just not a 2C.

 

[NDiesel]

No denying he is playing well.

He is just not a 2C.

If he's playing with Hall-Pastrnak I think he very well could be.

 

[Fjordy]

Eklund legit

 

[Reddwit]

If Ek gets this too, he's the new Big Dawg around to break trades

Imagine Eklund finally becoming a legit insider after 15+ years. Someone call Disney.

 

[Puckclektr]

Boston should do this. They need a 2nd line Center who young. I think this trade works for both teams.

If you think a second line centre is what Zacha is you are mistaken

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

If he's playing with Hall-Pastrnak I think he very well could be.

This would be the hope. Much like Debrusk is a top line winger with Marchand/Bergeron. The center is the long term need however.

 

[MVP Zacha]

I would not be OK with this.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Zacha is better than Debrusk, no thanks.

He had legitimate sources in Nashville and Philly eons ago to be fair.

 

[Reddwit]

He had legitimate sources in Nashville and Philly eons ago to be fair.

Yeah, but he attempted to break so many more deals that never materialized that his wins in Philly, etc put him adjacent to blind-squirrel-finds-nut territory.

 

[Swipes]

Zacha has played with Pasta at the U18 WC from what I remember. Could be interesting for Boston.

 

[Aoko]

Big W for Boston if they pull this off

Curious as to why you think Zacha is the best return they can possibly get, especially for a now extended Debrusk.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

SJS/Minny

Did he really break those deals? Seems like his tweets were timed right in line with the others on those...

 

[kthx]

Dont really like the return for Boston.

 

[Eggtimer]

I don’t watch Debrusk enough . I thought he was a more interior forward ( crashes the net , good board work , gritty and mean?) than Zacha so I thought would be a better fit for NJ?

 

[McDuffz88]

In what world is Zacha a 2nd line C?

Shhhhh they don't need to know that. Let them find out after they trade for him

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

Shhhhh they don't need to know that. Let them find out after they trade for him

It's like saying Cam Janssen was a first line RW

Okay not that bad but you get the idea. The player just doesn't fit the role.

He may be a better "fit" but Zacha is very easily the better all around player.

There are better options around the league for what Debrusk brings IMO.
