Chances are, his job is to generate clicks, or listens, or follows. To do that, he comes up with crackpot theories.

Normally a better course of action is logic:
Debrusk is capable of being a really good player, he’s young, and just had a down year during a shortened pandemic season without a real off season and no pre season.
His value is lower than its ever been.

That sound like a trade to you?</div></div>

Valid, and again, it is all pure speculation, and speculation I have chosen to follow for the purposes of this mock. And sometimes, those trades are made. Depends on faith within the locker room from Sweeney and Cassidy, something neither you or I truly know. Teams have made similar mistakes before..

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>The pick doesn't really do anything to help Boston win now though. Also the "seems clear DeBrusk is heading somewhere else" is a narrative thrown out by other fanbases. A down year plus a guy whose name rumored to be available and it turns into "he's fallen out of favor in Boston" or "Boston is looking to move DeBrusk" and that's simply isn't the case. Could they move him? sure and if there is a deal that makes them better they'll do it, but they're not reaching out to other teams trying to move him. His value is at an all time low and he's worth more to Boston than what they most likely get on the market. If things continue to go down hill, his value can't get any lower than it is already.</div></div>


One report is from Dennis Bernstein, who called him a probable "Goner". An NHL scout agreed he was definitely "out there", but of course that is far less committal. Nothing is for sure with rumors in this league, but he was even scratched at various points from what I can remember. The interest is definitely POSSIBLE, but I kind of took it as true for the purposes of this, since every piece of a armchair GM is purely speculation. And honestly, I could see them just turning around and flipping it for say.. Conor Garland?

Take out the 4ths…maybe.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ON3M4N</b></div><div>We'll just keep DeBrusk</div></div>

Couple thing worth noting: The 2nd is NJ, which inherently makes it higher value than if it were VGK's own. The 2nd fourth may have been too much, but seems clear DeBrusk is heading somewhere else, and that Boston doesn't see an incredible future with him, whether that is right or wrong. If Boston isn't careful, this could definitely limit their potential return. But can definitely see the frustration on this trade.
