Description

Great idea posted by Bruinadian67, but in his post the return to Dallas wasn't quite right, so I decided to have my own crack at it.

I have sent DeBrusk down to the minors for cap reasons, since he seems to have zero to none interest around the league. If he gets picked up on waivers then so be it, Bruins wouldn't have qualified him anyway. If he clears, then he can be brought back up for the playoffs.

Trade is maybe a little bit of an overpay imo but aren't rentals usually acquired in an overpay type of trade anyway? Especially with tight cap situations which is what we have here.

Pavelski with 50% retention = 1st and a 2nd
Sekera with 50% retention = 3rd

Return can of course be tweaked around by conditional picks and personal preference on this site, but either way Bruins are capable to acquire them.

Now with the lineup. Which middle6 would Bruins fans prefer?

Hall - Pavelski - Smith
Haula - Coyle - Foligno

or

Hall - Coyle - Pavelski
Foligno - Haula - Smith

Any thoughts on the trade, fit or the lineup?

It's not that DeBrusk doesn't have interest, it's that Boston isn't going to give him away. They are in no rush to trade him and I also wouldn't 100% say that they wouldn't QO him.

I can agree that it might not be the smartest thing to put DeBrusk on waivers, because I really can't see him get cleared. But if Bruins are able find a taker for him you're going to sell very low on him. But then again that cap space could be used to target on a better defenseman than Sekera, so it would be the smartest thing to do.

So you cant send debrusk down he is claimed in 2 seconds. I cant see Sweeney trading 3 picks like that but if they were going to this isnt a terrible return. Id still think theyvshould target a center not a winger.

Deal. We will not have the Cap space to sign Pavelski back and we will be out of a PO spot.
