You will be spending picks to dump Kassian, not receiving them.

Try again.

Boston would probably need to add a mid round pick in the Debrusk trade.

Edmonton would need to add a good incentive to dump Kassians contract.

Would likely cost more to get Cernak from TB as well, could see a good number of teams beating that offer.

i think suter is worth more than that, especially with retained salary

I read this as 'I would get nothing done' because there isn't a team there that would do those trades.

Boston might say yes but the rest say no. No team is going to give you picks for cap dumps, Cernak would cost a lot more if available and Arizona will get better offers for Chyrchrun without having to take Barrie's contract back.

So, you trade for debrusk, offer him $1M, just to see him walk away.
You better not tell mike smith about that trade before its official, because he would retire on your ass and since its a 35+ contract, you would be stuck with the full cap hit.
You bother making those phone calls to seattle and Ottawa just to get laughed at.

But, in fairness, getting laughed at would seem nice compared to what tampa, and arizona do.

it is hilarious that u think that JP is gonna sign that contract and the Oilers don't need or want to trade Yamomoto and trading for him for Debrusk is a terrible trade for the Oilers

Tampa declines

This is how the TB call goes
GMyou: hey Julian got a trade for you says above
GMJBB :No
GM you : hey Julian still there?
Dead air

It would be tough to pry Cernak away from Tampa, he's our only consistently good RHD.
