Value of: Top 6 Winger to the Devils

[Mersss]

The problem is his qualifying offer:

"DeBrusk’s contract expires after 2021-22. He will be a restricted free agent. The left wing will be due a qualifying offer of $4.41 million, which is 120 percent of the $3.675 million average annual value of his contract. It is a big number for a left wing who, until Thursday against his hometown Oilers, had been parked on the fourth line.

An acquiring team would have to believe in DeBrusk in a big way. First, it would have to put up assets to the Bruins’ liking. It would then have to determine an approach to keep DeBrusk under team control: either by issuing him his $4.41 million qualifying offer or by not tendering the 25-year-old and negotiating a cheaper contract before he tests unrestricted free agency. A team serious about DeBrusk would not risk trading for the 2015 first-rounder and seeing him walk for nothing."

Why the Bruins haven't been able to find the right trade for Jake DeBrusk so far: 'It's such a hard trade from both sides'

Talking about Debrusk QO...

Have you look at the Meier one?

How does Severson, a 2022 1st and a 2023 2nd for Boeser sound?

Tough to give up Boeser but the Canucks need a quality RD plus draft picks. Devils gets a great scoring threat.

About 2 weeks ago Devils GM said he thought it was too early to be trading assets for a goal scorer. One of the Devils co-owners commented at intermission of the Flyers game that the team is thinking medium to long term. I do not think the Devils would consider trading the 2022 1st given that, the goal tending situation, and Nico and Graves being in COVID protocol

In my opinion that the Devils need established players now more so than another pick. Of course we need to continue drafting and supplement the roster with cost controlled players as our core needs to get paid. However we need to start surrounding our young kids with legit established talent to help them develop and grow. You cannot expect Hughes and Mercer to carry their offence alone. It’s getting the balance of prospects and established players that makes or breaks a rebuild. I just think we might trash players confidence and development by not supporting them enough.

Agreed. Not saying y'all should deal your 1st, but you don't want to be Buffalo where you are trapped in a hole. Important to push for playoff spot and teach young guys how to win (even if you miss playoffs this year).

Boeser isn't a mystery box tho. He's an actual player (rfa). Fits the age range

As a neutral fan... this is fair and makes sense. I'd love Boeser on the Jets but that's not happening

Hmm seems like there is a conflict between this post and the thread.

IMO they have lots of young players plus prospects. Could use another high-end player with some experience to help out.

No one signs him to that so there's a negotiation. But yeah it's ugly

Well if he doesn't get it, with the season he's having, he could easilly get something close as a UFA

Agreed but its $10M per correct? If so having a banner yr is great but a look back to his .6 ppg does not justify it to me. Would have been a great pickup this past summer

 

[HugeInTheShire]

No chance NJ is trading their 1st with them in full blown free fall, no matter what other Devil fans think or believe, it just not happening.
They absolutely need top 6 wingers but they’re probably looking more at DeBrusk level than 1st round pick level.

The reason I posted is I would not think fans of other teams would know what Devils Front Office/ownership have been saying.

He is an excellent player and what the Devils need. I was just trying to point out that the front office does not think the time is right for the Devils to make this type of move. A lot of Devils fans on OTOH would like to do something like this. The type of trades the Devils will likely be making are off season type of trades.

 

[Johnsie19]

Boeser could likely be had. Though theyll wait till after the trade freeze to make that decision and give Boundreau a chance with him.

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Not sure severson is the type of RHD Canucks need. How’s his defensive side of the puck? Not overly familiar as we don’t hear a lot about the devils on the west coast. We need a younger version of tanev haha!

 

[John Pedro]

Devils first gonna be a top10 pick most likely

if they trade it, will be Schneider for Hovart all over again. Three solid years of a player that leads you nowhere for a shot at a young player that can contribute for 10+ years

only way I'd trade it would be in a package for a guy like Laine, but no way CLB trades him so...

Maybe try something for Mangiapane as Flames gonna have troubles to re-sign him and Johnny

 

[Bettman Returnz]

Can’t see flames trading mangipane.
