Thread: Based on the rumors of the day
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>He has scored 20 goals once</div></div>

He had 27 last year and 19 this year with a shortened season. If you take his career G/GP and put it over 82 games, he's averages out to a 25 goals scorer. And again over the last 3 years at 5v5 he's one of the top 20 goal scoring LW's in the NHL. He has more 5v5 goals than guys like:

Matthew Tkachuk
Rickard Rakell
Jason Zucker
Chris Kreider
Gabriel Landeskog
Mike Hoffman
Filip Forsberg
Taylor Hall

Even if you want to push it to all situations, he's top 30 in goals scored over the last 3 years in all situations. This is with him not getting steady PP time and when he does get PP time, he's option 5 because the Bruins #1PP unit has/had Pastrnak, Marchand, Bergeron and Krug as the other 4 guys.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>etpeck</b></div><div>My offer was nothing like the offer you gave. I offered a top prospect and an early second rounder. Whether it makes sense for Boston is a different story. Personally I’m not sure why Boston would want to trade DeBrusk but it’s the rumor that was out there. The offer I gave is what I would be willing to pay. DeBrusk has upside yes, but he also hasn’t done it so far. He has 3 around 40 point seasons while he has yet to top 70 games played.</div></div>

Its only a rumor because "wirters" need to generate clicks and views to sell ad space lol.

-DeBrusk is an RFA
-Sweeney said they are looking to make changes
-Oiler radio man speculated he's worth $6 mil
-Agent says they won't take hometown discount (same sentence says they wouldn't rule it out)

Nothing really has happened to indicate he's available. All that points above equals an easy name to throw out there as speculation/rumor to generate clicks and views.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bass8151</b></div><div>It caught me off guard why they would want to move him, but i believe i saw somewhere they wanted to work with an internal cap next year? I could be wrong if I saw it but even still thats a hard player to replace unless they are going after like hall</div></div>

I dont think they want to move him tbh. Months ago an edmontons radio guy said DeBrusk was worth $6m. Later DeBrusk agent said he wasnt going to take a hometown discount...but in the same sentence said he wouldn't rule it out either lol.

I think its just a lot of speculation and people looking for things to generate clicks and views. Not saying they won't trade him, but they only do it if DeBrusk contract demands are too high or they get a deal for him that improves the deal and is a no-brainer.
