Quoting: Boston14
I can see that for sure. I was wondering this summer when they made the phi trade and got him, if phi got him from Vegas because he was someone Nashville wanted.
I was looking at it from Nashville viewpoint as well, it’s weird not seeing Nashville competing for the cup. After all those years and I could see them being a bit more aggressive this season. Nashville has gotten off to a strong start and things are rolling.
DeBrusk would fit in well with either Duchene or Johansen and create a nice top six for them. When Jake plays his style well, I’m sure Nashville fans will love him. He style would fit with smashville style haha
Not sure what’s going to happen with Forsberg but if they believe they might lose him this summer, I could see them “going in” this year if they don’t give up anything huge. DeBrusk might also help ease the potential pain of losing Forsberg.
Glass is still unknown so I think Nashville might explore the possibility of moving him for a player that’s more known at this point.
Overall I thought it was interesting and had pros/ cons for each.
I agree that it's an interesting idea -- I just think NSH will hold on to Glass a little longer; pretty much gave up Ellis for him. I'm hoping Johansen can show him the ropes a bit, but we'll see if he gets another chance this season.
I'm not opposed to DeBrusk in NSH, but at this point in his career I'm not sure I would offer up much more than a 3rd rounder with a C prospect
As far as NSH being buyers, I'd rather they go after someone like Smith who could be a cap casualty with VGK which could lower his cost -- or someone like Tierney.
For the long-term, NSH has Tolvanen, Tomasino, Duchene, Trenin, Jeannot, and Kunin as pretty much locks on the wings next season. If they sign Forsberg and/or then bring up some guys like Afanasyev, L'Heureux, Olivier, Glass, etc to battle for spots, it gets harder to see where DeBrusk would fit on this team.
