Edmonton says no we don’t really need debrusk and definitely not for that price

Devils aren't interested in paying a 2nd for a guy who will play 3rd pair minutes and won't fit under the cap

Canes pass. Jvr has slowed way down. No need to pay a 2nd and a 3rd for him. If we miss on a few others a 3rd or a boom or bust prospect will be plenty for JVR

To put it simply, Debrusk isn't worth that.

To be honest I would be very interested in DeBrusk with $2M retained, but I know Holland won't pay that price. What do you consider reasonable?

I think debrusk 50% retained would be worth a 2nd foegle

Too much for JvR. He had 29 points last year. Maybe just the 3rd. A 2nd and a 3rd is laughable though

If I operate under the assumption that I think he's a good fit for EDM (I don't), then the maximum I'd give up would be equivalent to a 2nd and a 3rd. Maybe that 2nd could have a condition on it for becoming a 1st based on playoff success, but I'd be hard-pressed as I think any trade of a 1st has to address a genuine need on the team and bring in a player with term.

You're going to need to take about 50% off the top there bud. All these values are criminally high.
