Yamamoto for Debrusk

yamamoto is way cheaper, i'd think boston has to add

Yamamoto and Kassian (700K retained) for Debrusk

Can't see the oilers giving up Kassian

The way I see it salaries need to be adjusted for this season. Slight retention on debrusk and involve turris which Boston could then send down if don’t want him only taking a 500k cap hit on him. To me it evens it out enough to take the risk. In my opinion all risk is on Edmonton in this deal. Sure yam doesn’t have eye popping stats but he’s insanely useful on the defensive side of the game and really good pk guy also his effort level is never a question Boston is getting the better all round player by far Edmonton is just banking on debrusk finding his scoring touch on a more consistent basis.

DeBrusk's contract effectively makes him a pending UFA, while Yamamoto is a pending RFA. I'd rather have Yamamoto anyhow, so no deal.
