The Senators are a budget team. They will trade Brown to dump his salary to subsidize their "top 6 forward + top 4 d" they supposedly want to acquire. Unless they are super high on Debrusk, and feel he can be that guy instead of a Fiala type, they don't make this trade.
Anybody following the team closely knew Brown was gone before it was even rumored by Friedman. Sens were never going to re-sign a 30 year old luxury top 9 match up winger to a 4M+ contract long term when they are a budget team, and it is pretty clear they will need to dump salary to make room for their supposed targets. Especially so if Giroux comes on board.
