This one would be a bit of a shakeup trade

Jake Debrusk for Dillon Dube. Similar players in similar situations, both are likely to benefit from a change of scenery.

Boston would need to add a little something and they'd have to retain salary or take another contract back to make it work for Calgary. Dube is 2 years younger, makes 1.375M less, is under contract for 2 more years after this one and he can play center too.

Tyler Pitlick would be a good candidate for Calgary to add to the deal. Or maybe the Bruins would prefer big hard hitting LD Nikita Zadorov?

I'd only do it if Monahan starts playing much better again (not looking very likely) or the Flames acquire a second/ third line center first.

There’s just no way I’d trade Dube for Debrusk. Dube is more versatile, younger, cheaper and has played better the last 2 years AND kills penalties.

Only guys I would consider in a deal for Debrusk are Monahan, Pitlick or Zadorov.

I did say Boston would have to add something and either retain salary or take Pitlick or Zadorov too. Even then only if we get center to replace Monahan first.

Yes I saw that, I just don't see the need/ desire to acquire DeBrusk at all, so wouldn't offer Dube as a piece to get him.

It isn't about need or want, it's about shaking things up by trading two similar players who have both been ok but less than expected.

A change of scenery could very well be great for both players and both teams. If not then nothing much changes for either team.

Okay, Okay. Fair enough. I’d still only do a deal on DeBrusk with Monahan, Pitlick or Zadorov who fit that description and are the first to go before Dube who would be better bait for a bigger fish like Connor Brown, Bryan Rust, Tyler Toffoli or Josh Anderson.

06 Jan 2022 18:53:09
Ok but put yourself in Boston's shoes. As Boston's GM would you trade Debrusk for Monahan, Pitlick or Zadorov?

Of course not! Maybe for Monahan or Zadorov if Calgary retains 50% on either player, but Calgary can't afford to do that.

Besides it wouldn't make any sense at all to trade for Debrusk unless Dube is moved out. There having enough trouble finding a good spot for Dube without adding yet another left shot LW to the mix.

Ideally I'd want to trade Dube as part of a package for a right shot RW or center but if that doesn't happen this would be very unlikely to make either team worse and could make one or both teams better. It'd be a safe roll of the dice for both teams.

I just don’t want DeBrusk unless they take one of those players. Zadorov might be the most of interest, but whether they have to get another team involved to get the salary down, that’s up to them. Of course if Dube become expendable I trust they would package and move him for the C or RW they need. #NoJakeDeBrusk.
