The Bruins are not trading to Debrusk to Toronto for a 2nd and retaining salary. Kid a bad stretch, despite being almost useless over the course of the last 20months, he is 24 and averaging 21.5 goals per 82 over his career.
He isn't a superstar and probably won't be, but he will be a pretty reliable 20-30 goal scorer. He needs a change of scenery, but A) the Bruins could get more B) They would take less for him not to go to Toronto C) teams will need to get to the floor so I can see Detroit throwing the Bruins two 2nds - playing him in a top 6 PP role and hopes he gets back to 27g in 68 games from two years ago and dealing him at the deadline for a 1st +.
