Ducks dont trade 22OA for DeBrusk let alone 10OA

If Josh Anderson who is rumored to return 13OA I'd imagine Debrusk is close to that. Doesn't have to be Anaheim, maybe Winnipeg. Debrusk is worth a 1st.

Your knowledgeable fellow Bruin adherents just spent the entire season asking for a second for him.

That was well before he was put on the top line. Debrusk is a top 6 forward period. He has shown he can play either wing effectively. Had a heck of 2nd half producing without PP time. I think he'd be great on a young team like Anaheim. I'd prefer to keep him but I believe his trade request still stands.

Yeah, his trade request still stands. It rings in the ears of every NHL GM. And his contract expires just when we expect our window to be opening. No, thanks -- I think a contender or near-contender (like Nashville, especially of they lose Forsberg) would be more interested in him than us.
