<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>DeBrusk is no more physical than Smith. I mean that is basically Smiths game is to be that little bit of sandpaper gritty winger with a bit of skill.
As for Hayes, he'd just be another old player on an aging team.
On top of it, he's got a 47.8% career faceoff. This past year was his best year ever on the dot. 8 years of his career he's been under 50%. That isn't a guy who's good on the dot. His possession numbers aren't all that good either.
I just don't see the need to bring him in. This team gets tired and blows leads. They need younger players.
In an ideal world they would trade both Eller and Acciari out, along with Smith and Rakell and replace them with younger players. But that's easier said than done to move them out.</div></div>

Fair point on Hayes. However, when it comes to the DeBrusk/Smith swap, it is not like I am giving anything up to go from Smith to DeBrusk. We get an asset for Smith and sign DeBrusk as an FA. We retain for one year, sure, but we have the cap.
