<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>beantownboy17</b></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.</div></div>

Just to add to what <a href="/users/PurpleHippo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PurpleHippo</a> already said to you, Hyman might not be more talented than Debrusk, but he is definitely a harder worker and definitely knows where to go to get those goals where as in Debrusk works basically on talent, and then there's the Tavares and Krejci comparison you speak of, LOL, David's rings speak more hockey than Tavares's career, LOL, also, another perfect example of hard work, so, if you want to sell Debrusk with a high price tag, I highly doubt any real GM would bite, Jake needs a pretty good center man to produce, you also just said that about Krejci and Debrusk, therefore, no deal, we'll all just wait for the summer to give him the contract he deserves rather than placing an awful bet on him that he actually produces, he's most likely going to sign short term prove yourself contract than giving him a long term high price tag contract in which we all know cannot happen with the Bruins cap at this moment UNLESS they move some pieces and let Gryzz walk in the summer.
