Dollars to donuts these " <insert team here> and DeBrusk have mutual interest " rumors are coming from DeBrusk's agent to put pressure on the Bruins to bridge the gap even more.

I don't care if he ends up on Jupiter as long as he's not back here.
Agents and players can talk to media, as may GM scouts. So both are trying to make it look like there are a lot of teams who want them at this point. I assume Debrusk is still trying to get signed in Boston so he wants to show that there are other teams out there that he is interested in and want him. Especially a team like toronto as I am sure the bruins wouldn't be happy with him there.

I hope he ends up on the Leafs. You just know that the Toronto media will pump his tires like nobody's business prior to the start of the season.
anyone remember when phil ended up on the leafs and he got 14 shots on goal in his first game for them lmao

Honestly I kinda don't care either way if Debrusk comes back. If he does, cool. If he leaves fine (as long as they find a suitable replacement)

He would kill his next deal if he only plays in 20 games next year. They are not going to pay Sway all that money to split games with Linus, one would think long term money wise its best he waives.
My take on that is that if you are willing to walk away from a player, you shouldn't care where he goes .
You think he is either too expensive or not good enough, let him go to a rival.
Pagnotta just reported that he's heard from multiple people that Ullmark is willing to waive for Ottawa if a deal gets done.

I think the reality of today is if you want to sign a UFA there is going to be some form of NTC/NMC involved. Guys don't want to get signed to get moved because a younger player is taking there spot or a GM has mismanaged the salary cap..

Ullmark trade talks picking up — The Fourth Period
Trade talks involving Boston Bruins goalie Linus Ullmark have picked up steam, as he could be the next big goalie to move, reports David Pagnotta.

Looks like he will waive to Ottawa if need be
Yes that is correct. 25% of the players in the league have trade protections. if you factor in those over 27 (the only ones eligible) that number gets closer to 35-40%.
What I was too bored to do the work on numbers for the percentage of players top 6/top4 over 27 who have them, and I would suspect you are getting closer to 90% of the players. No one of actual value, is going to sign a FA contract here this summer, and not get significant NMC/NTC
I'm sure he loves Boston but it's in his best interest for his career to waive. Ottawa isn't a total dumpster fire of an organization anymore. They are turning it around and have good young players. Plus he can get 1 more big contract there and then retire back to Sweden if desired.
I assume him waiving would be contingent on the Sens extending him long term, cause I doubt he wants to go into a contract year playing on the Sens instead of the Bruins.
