Devils can't decline fast enough.

Kings would rather look for a UFA top-6 winger than take on JVR at a full contract for lost assets.

I think NJ Devils are good at the center position.

Why are the Sens giving up a whole bunch of assets for a rental?

Los Angeles isn't interested in a veteran winger with a huge cap hit. Guys like Iafallo, Kempe, Kaliyev, and Moore would push him down to a line with Dustin Brown.

Sharks easily decline, not buying a rental plus not paying that much for Ristolainen

What are you thinking with the Boston trade? You really think a playoff teams is going to take your salary dump and on top of that, pay you to do it?? The last thing the Bruins need is a diminutive 32 year old with 4 years left on a 6 million cap hit. Bruins don't have to move Debrusk so I don't know how you think Philly has the advantage here. If you want to throw in your first round pick for just Debrusk we'll give it some thought. We could use a top 10 pick.

Cap dump? Atkinson has played well worth his salary this season and way better than Debrusk. If the bruins asked for the Flyers first round pick in exchange for Debrusk Chuck Fletcher would immediately block the number thinking it was a troll that got his number. Debrusk is at the age were he will stop growing and is a definitive middle 6 winger at best, no where near a first round pick from a team that should be rebuilding and has a shot at a top 5 pick.

LOL

OTT Declines and just signs him as a UFA, what a joke of a trade

Have a VERY hard time imagining Ottawa would pu so much for a rental in a season they’re not contending when they could just sign that same player for free 3 months after the trade deadline.
