DeBrusk for Labanc

I get the idea of the trade but id probably say no. I think Labanc is the better player but Bougner just hates him for some reason. It only really makes sense as a way to kill cap and let Debrusk walk

I like it. But we really need a 2C and another top 4 D.

He isn’t. Like you i get the concept. And Cassidy hates Debrusk, so it’s similar. I’d rather have Debrusk of the two.

And if they are not getting a equal value C or D i’d rather they get someone on their ELC or picks for cap purposes. A lateral move for a wing makes no sense.

Boston would need to add a bit but yeah could see it.

The main issue with Debrusk comes his QA which will be 4.85mill come 2022

Then you can't do this deal. Doing this deal effectively gives up any chance of acquiring anything approaching a 2C or 4D. If you agree with my position that Lysell and 2022 first are off the table then the Bruins really have no options left on their roster to facilitate a trade to acquire even one of these two pieces. It has to come from a DeBrusk or DeBrusk + trade.
