Thread: Which makes most sense at TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>I am not sure how you can say that and then say that you think Debrusk is enough to get Hertl.
Health is certainly a concern for Kase - No doubt, but you said when healthy he isn't a top 6. Interesting because statistically they are almost identical. Kase is cheaper and under team control. They are pretty much the same age as well.

Debrusk played in 13 playoff games and had 4 goals.
Kase played in 11 playoff games and had 4 Assists.

Debrusk has 4pts (1 goal) in his last 16 regular season games.
Kase has 1 pt in 7.5 games with the Bruins.

Kase is also ELITE defensively. JD, not so much.

I get the health thing, and he needs to finish more, but it's there. Thing about stats is they tend to balance out. Yes he is 0 for 26 on SOG since joining the Bruins, but that won't last. He'll go 6/9 over some stretch. He is creating chances. New team, Covid, and injury. I am not willing to call it a mistake. He isn't getting benched. He isn't a empty shirt. He just isn't finishing. Which - JD has 1 goal. One.

If they can get Kase back healthy. It's huge.</div></div>

First, I think Debrusk is a picee in the Hertl deal, hence the 2nd to go with it. And Having someone who is elite defensively but doesn't produce is not what the Bruins need. They need someone not names Marchand Bergeron and Pastrnak to score. They don't have that. With this aging core, they can't wait around for these guys like Debrusk Kase and Bjork to find their scoring touch. They just don't have that time. If they want to win the cup one more time, then they have to sacrifice a piece like Debrusk or Kase or Bjork or Vaak or a 1st to do so. And I think teams see much more potential in Derbsuk than in Kase. Considering the injury risk.
