This proposal is interesting because of the rumors regarding a Chiasson for Bjork trade. I think that BOS was shopping Bjork because if they sign a free agent top six forward (after the Hall to Buffalo signing, BOS would probably be looking at either Dadonov or Hoffman), they would have no need for Bjork and would likely need to free up some cap space as well. However, Chiasson and Athanasiou are more expensive than Bjork and DeBrusk, and Chiasson and Athanasiou are arguably a worse duo. Bjork is better and much younger than Chiasson, and Bjork may even be better than Athanasiou due to Athanasiou's recent regression. DeBrusk is the best player in the trade, and a 3rd round pick doesn't do nearly enough to close the talent gap between the players involved. And even after this trade, BOS would still be in need of a quality top six winger to play with David Krejci, and they would have less cash to spend.
