Sizz, not specific to this post but speaking bigger picture.... you truly are a diamond in the rough. My favorite poster! Make good points, often funny and most importantly I think we are usually on the same page. Just wanted to announce my affinity for you...but I'm not gay or anything. It's a bromance Moongoats! Don't fight it... It's meant to happen. And great minds think alike, nothing we can do about it now. 👍 Get a room

I don't have any more to add that others haven't said but I do think this is an opportunity for Sweeney to do something bigger with this situation. Turn it into a multi-player deal.
Add Gryz, add Studs if its for a bigger move.
Id be looking at Seattle, Vancouver, San Jose and maybe Philly.

Maybe DS can work out a package deal including himself, Butch and 3 other players. There's a bunch of guys in van I'd like to see, and that team is just not getting any traction.

Another rumor, Jake for Dylan Strome who has 3 pts, so it would be a even trade as both suck.

IF he does hit that plateau, then he's even a bigger POS than he is right now as far as I'm concerned. He's been given more than enough chances to play some consistent hockey. I wouldn't even care if he only scored 20g's & 40pts a season if he was actually putting in the effort! He doesn't. He's the epitome of a "Lollygagger"! He’s been that for 60 games. For over two hundred, he was a kid who forced turnover with his speed and could make a play to create a goal without someone having to feed him like Taylor Hall seems to. I don’t know what happened to him but concussion and CoViD are part of it. I am not saying this because they should keep him. Again, called it months ago that he will want out whether because he’s underperforming and uncomfortable or because he’s playing well but can’t knock Hall or Marchand out of the top two lines. But he has more value than people who just want to get rid of him think. Whew, irrational love for DeBust and irrational hate for Hall. Add that to calling Larkin a #2 center and your player assessment standing is taking a hit.

Several teams may be interested but that may not equal to Debrusk being more valuable. He looked like a man without a team last night. Dylan Strome for Zach Senyshen is more of a trade comparison btw.

I like some of he Avs prospects pool if Sweeney decides he doesn't want money back. And I think DeBrusk would be a good fit in Colorado. On the other hand after watching some of Jake lazy defensive plays last night. I don't care where he goes.

Unlike the guy from Seattle whose name escapes be because he's nobody, Strome has at least some track record in the NHL. 89 points in 116 games in his first two seasons in Chicago before crashing to earth. That's evidence that he can score at the NHL level at least. I would still prefer someone who is less of a risk unless it's a prospect/picks return, but of course the rumour mill is going to start with teams trying to trade their trash for DeBrusk.

Add that to calling Larkin a #2 center and your player assessment standing is taking a hit. What part of what I wrote is irrational? The part where people are talking about him as though he's always been the player we've seen over a fairly small sample? The part where I talk about him being exactly the kind of player they seemed to identify as a need before this slump? Or is there some defense of Taylor Hall's failure to have any impact on the Bruins team performance that you want to cite that isn't blaming it on Charlie Coyle? I look at your reply to this as basically listening to the noise rather than evaluating the players, so I'm all good with being on the other side of the equation. What did Larkin do last night? Was he more visible than Coyle? I sure didn't see it. And what I said was that if Larkin is you're number one C you probably aren't going far. As #1C go, I don't see him having enough impact to really be that cornerstone, but if you had another top C, he would be a top end #2.

Now that you mentioned it, Larkin was nigh on invisible last night. With that said, he's better than all but 3 of our forwards. I'm worried about this team, they're not really good at any aspect of the game right now.

And when it’ll all be said and done, what the B’S end up getting won’t smell that much better than what they’re being offered at the start…. I say take the best prospect or pick you can get and pocket the cap room…. And then go from there depending whether you think you’re a contender or just a pretender….

So- who is available that the B's could bring in that's close to the 3.6 of Jake Debust? I'm just spitballing, so don't get your panties in a twist. Looking at players who are close to age, can play C/LW & salary. Also, I'm not necessarily going for a one to one swap either. Maybe the other team will have to add a little more, or maybe the B's will have to add a little more. I'm also looking at forwards only. Connor Brown- 10 pts in 15 games, Kaspri K- 14pts in 21 games, Jesper Bratt- 17pts in 19 games Pavel Zacha- 12pts in 19 games Tomas Hertl- 13 pts in 21 games, the Sharks maybe willing since he's UFA, but he'd be a hellva 2C that could accommodate Hall nicely- HEY I'm allowed to dream Lawson Crouse- 10 pts in 22 games 6' 4" 215? YepAndre Burakovsky- 14pts in 17 games- Just scores goals- need him Brandon Saad- 11 pts in 17 games 8 goals Rickard Rakell- 8pts in 12 games, been on the block since last season Victor Arvidsson- 8 pts in 13 games Adrian Kempe- 12 pts in 20 games Thoughts? Him. Still young at 24. I've always liked Saad --- a bit older, but fits with the win now narrative of this team. I honestly wouldn't mind if we get a good pick or prospect at this point. Our bottom 6 is overcrowded so I'm all set with marginal role players. If we can package him to get a stud great, otherwise, get some asets with upside even if they aren't ready for this year's roster. Use the cap space for a trade to improve the team

Someone in the comments on Fluto's The Athletic article suggested Colin White from Ottawa - also a 1st rounder from 2015 who is underperforming. Thoughts?
Lauzon ($850 K)has been scratched recently and Donskoi ($3.9M) a RW has been average so far. How about those 2 for DeBrusk, Moore, and B's throw in a 2nd round pick. Also clears almost 1.7 in cap space for re-signing Rask.
