<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PurpleHippo</b></div><div>This is sorta why stats only get you so far when evaluating a player, you gotta watch the games to know the full picture.

Hyman's play style is what makes him such a perfect winger for McD, not to say Debrusk couldnt flurish but expecting the same bump is insanely wishful thinking.
I'm not sure what Debrusk goes for rn, but if Boston cant sign him and he wants to go to his home team we can wait for the offseason and not spend 2 valuable assets to get him.

I'm also not seeing the reason why Boston wants to move him, even if he leaves at the end of the year.</div></div>

This is funny, because I think DeBrusk has the kind of playstyle that McDavid would help too. Granted I haven't watched too much of Hyman in EDM (too late at night for me) but I think they're kind of similar finishers but DeBrusk has been bred into having a 2 way element to his game

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>cody_tugak</b></div><div>You aren't getting Holloway and our first that easy, if you add Merkulov then maybe, but if you want Holloway and our first, then swap Debrusk for Trent Fredrick and then add Merk, then we have a conversion</div></div>

Zack Hyman at 27 (Debrusk's current age) scored 21 goals. That was playing with Tavares. The same year DeBrusk scored 27 goals playing with David Krejci at age 22. Now I love Krejci but Tavares is a better C.

If we take the 3 years leading up to this season for DeBrusk and the 3 season prior to Hyman coming to the Oilers (wiping out the covid season for Hyman), Hyman averaged 0.28g/gm or 17g/season. DeBrusk averaged 0.325g/gp or 21.6g/season. If you compare that to the last 3 season where Hyman has been playing with McDavid, he's averaged 0.49g/gp, good for an extra 17 goals per season. So you're telling me you don't want DeBrusk, who is younger and arguably more talented than Hyman, knowing he would likely score about 0.57g/gp which means he'd average over 40 goals per season for the next 4 or 5 seasons?

Now I didn't do well in statistics in high school but you wouldn't give up a fringe NHLer and a late first for what would likely be the best pure winger McDavid has ever played with? Thats just dumb.
