Too much for Staal, not enough for DeBrusk.

I'd do Turris and the 2022 2nd for a 50% Staal and I don't see the Bruins moving DeBrusk until the draft at the earliest. Maybe they use him as a piece to acquire a Taylor Hall or such, but not for Kassian.

What do you propose?

Bruins decline.

Why would boston trade a top six winger with potential for an aging 3rd line grinder that makes more money than him??

Yeah the DeBrusk fit is intriguing for the Oil, but from Boston's perspective, he should be a key piece in an effort to improve (i.e. Hall at 50% retained for DeBrusk and futures). That's what makes sense from my perspective.

But Staal is a great idea for a vet presence, especially if Turris is the offset going back. If Buffalo thinks Marody is intriguing, he'd be a good piece to get the value close to finalize the deal- he's playing really well in the AHL, and may be a high sell value right now. If I'm Holland I propose Turris and Marody and then as late of a pick as possible to get Staal. Hard to gage values rn though.
