Minnesota won't trade for haula. He's reputation in Minnesota, lets just say is not good. Especially when he's not getting playing time

Anyteam that needs playoff depth doesn’t have to be the wild

Idk, they are all still young, but it seems like Boston is shifting a number of players who have not quite panned out the way they hoped for proven NHL talent. Looks lopsided to me.

I mean it sounds like your mainly talking about debrusk but he’s been playing a lot better. Vaak and Steen have played well every game they’ve been up it’s just Sweeney signs veterans who clog those guys from coming up. Beecher has third line center potential he doesn’t have the stats but his underlying numbers are great.

Like Steen, maybe he continues to fill out his game ... but Im just not a fan of Urho at all.

The difficult part is that It's just a basket of maybes & I'm just not sure NJ does that kind of trade now. If they trade these three guys, at least one has to yield an immediate contributor. They want to compete next season & losing three pieces : two middle wingers (one which provides center skills, if Hughes or Hischier miss time) and a second pair defenseman is too much unless they get at least one or maybe two players who can fill similar roles. Futures are fine for one, maybe two of them, but not all three. I do understand contract status is a negative from NJ side, but they would be putting next season in the can with this trade & Fitzgerald loses his job imo. Idk, I just dont think they would do it

Debrusk and Vaak would contribute immediately. Vaak was playing 1st pair with Mcavoy but he’s hurt right now and he’ll definitely be in the lineup come playoffs unless a trade like this is made with a LD. Plus debrusk is allowed to negotiate a cheaper deal with Anyteam he is traded too, but maybe your right bruins really don’t have anyone else they can afford to give up in their starting lineup.

I hear ya, but I just dont think Vaak is very good (just my opinion, no insult intended) & I have some doubts he'd fit NJ style of play. Additionally, NJ has plenty of LD high end prospects in the pipe that will fill in if/when Graves leaves. I just dont see a fit for Debrusk in NJ, they'd be better off with resigning Zacha & cap is really not an issue yet for Devs

Ya they aren’t great trading partners, just exploring ideas

What would be the offer for just Tatar and Zacha?

I don’t think Devils move Graves, will at least hang onto to him though the off-season when they can talk extension with him.

Fair, nbd that's why we are all here, gotta try some ideas ... I actually think they may be good trade partners on something smaller. Maybe one guy who can contribute in Boston now for a near prospect... its not impossible.

Honestly with the way debrusk is playing probably debrusk and a third because i don’t see Tatar having much value and there needs to be retained salary

Doesn’t make a ton of sense for us.
