Rumor: Bruins and Oilers talking swap?

[The don godfather]

and Oilers fans are hoping the same when it comes to DeBrusk and his inconsistent play.
high QO offer and him wanting out should be sufficient to get him for Turris or Kassian.
if not then throw a 2M show me contract at him in the offseason. Highly doubt that Holland thinks giving up Yama for this player is the shot in the arm Oilers need. hopefully he aims much higher than flash in the pan players like Debrusk\ D.Strome.

I just feel there is a lot of smoke to this plus loui factor him from Edmonton and all plus jake born there. I think something will happen.

there is no smoke and him being from Edm and wanting out is the only link.
To Edm fans there isnt much difference in value of DeBrusk or Lazar. we would want both equally just because of Edmonton connection and not because they would thrive here as top 6 players.
If Lazar or Broissoit wanted out Edm fans would be drooling as well.

Debrusk has far more value than 4th liner Lazar....

One 4th liner is paid like a 4th liner and the other one has demanded out. Both get about the same ice time in BOS and both would be welcome in Edmonton because of history with the city.

I've seen some of these name thrown around in this thread so I thought I would put this fun fact out.

Yamamoto, Foegele, Kassain, and Hyman have a combined 16 playoff goals in 102 games averaging a 3.156 million caphit.

Ryan Nugent Hopkins minus the BS play ins from 2019-20 has a 1 playoff goal in 17 games making 5.125m. Has 3 in 21 including the Chicago series.

Jake"overpaid bum" Debrusk 16 playoff goals in 59 games making 3.675m.

If the Oilers and Bruins are talking trade then I hope it's for Ullmark if Raask is planning on returning to the Bruins.

What would you give up as an Oilers fan for Ullmark

Gotta keep ullmark the real deal Swede.

 

[remer]

DeBrusk, Lazar and Ullmark to the Oilers
What’s coming back to Boston?

Yamamoto + Kassian + pick ?

For Ullmark, Debrusk and Lazar

What is your offer?

 

[McShogun99]

For Ullmark, Debrusk and Lazar

What is your offer?

Would have to be just Ullmark.

Koskinen and a 1st?

 

[neelynugs]

Would have to be just Ullmark.

Koskinen and a 1st?

would just need ullmark to sign off on it with that NMC he has.

from b's perspective, it works. koskinen is buried as the #3. get a 1st round pick for
a system totally depleted.

 

[Mobiandi]

Oilers would be foolish to do this. Debrusk is on his way out of the league

 

[McVespa99]

If the Bruins are doing a trade with the Oilers it won’t be for Yamamoto. Boston will target JP, RNH or Bouchard. That’s it.

Who will the Bruins be trading then? It wont be Debrusk for any of those guys

This is one of the most "ESPN Stat" facts that I've seen on here in a while

 

[Bryanbryoil]

DeBrusk, Lazar and Ullmark to the Oilers
What’s coming back to Boston?

Yamamoto, Ryan or Turris, Koskinen and our 2022 1st

We would probably need you to retain cap on Debrusk to make it happen. Otherwise we'd need to include Kassian (or Barrie) instead of Turris or Ryan. If we did Barrie, then we'd need a RD coming back in this or another trade.

 

[UncleRico]

Ullmark is on more money and more years than Kosk and he ain't that big of an improvement. There is a reason why Rask is coming back, Swayman just needs a little more support before he starts playing most of the games. The pick is on the wrong end and how do we afford Ullmark,

The reason rask is coming back is due to the bruins having the most games to play in the entire league the rest of the way. Swaymans a rookie and Ullmark has dealt with injuries in years past. Bruins will be playing more than a game every other day from now to the end of the season. They’ll be gassed by the end of it even if they are healthy. Never mind if one of them actually goes down.

The biggest issue with Ullmark is the no movement clause he would have to waive.

 

[UncleRico]

Not sure why people are acting like Kassian is a toss in

He has 12pts and debrusk 8.

Both debrusk and Kassian are on over 3 mill a year but Debrusk is a RFA after this year and Q offer is more than Kassian makes.

Yamamoto has 11 pts as well

Biggest difference is oilers could walk away from Debrusk as the end of the year while bruins could walk away from Kassians deal. If the bruins are taking on a contract with terms that they would be locked into then Edmonton would have to add either a player, prospect or draft pick compensation.

Bruins would be better off letting Debrusk walk and using that extra cap space in the off season than they would having kassian on the books for an extra year.

 

[Yeti34]

Oilers would be foolish to do this. Debrusk is on his way out of the league

says who he’s looked great since the trade talk came out. I’d prefer the Bruins do everything they can to keep him.

 

[Hookslide]

Yamamoto + Kassian + pick ?

Forget about it ................Bruins will not do that

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

Forget about it ................Bruins will not do that

Don't be so sure.

Don Sweeney is licking his lips thinking about trading for another fat slob forward who can't skate but has truculence.

 

[zodiacbiller]

I'd think Yamo has more upside but who the hell is even the source?

 

[TFHockey]

Don't be so sure.

Are you talking about Kassian?

There are a lot of legit criticisms about Kassian, foremost is his lack of consistent intensity. He disappears for long stretches of games. His contract is too long and too rich for what he brings over an 82 game schedule. Totally legitimate concerns.

However skating is NOT one of those criticisms. Kassian can skate like the wind when he wants to.

Those few games where he does show up are highly entertaining. He scores, fights, and is a pest all night. The perfect Bruin, bluntly.

It doesn't sound like you really know much about him.
