Roger Mussa: Devils Bruins - Which dominoes will fall?

Bruins need a LD and a forward. Will the Devils oblige them with a Palmieri and Kuli (Half of their salary retained) trade for Debrusk + 2nd?

Deal everything you can for futures, this year is toast. As to Ghost claim him if you can. Some playoff team needing a power play specialist would love him, at worst he would be attractive to Kracken in expansion draft.

Use Jack “Yakupov” Hughes as the sweetener to move PK.

Devils dont need another middle six player like debrusk.

People seem to get excited by Debrusk, I don't get it. Would rather take a chance on some of our own prospects.

You would never know it from the media, all the broadcasters are in love with him!

They must not be tired of watching him turn the puck over 2-3 times per shift, his 8-10 shots per game directly into defenders shin pads, his constant loss of board battles, his terrible defensive zone coverage, or his soft-ass perimeter-styled floating around the offensive zone. I’d trade him before anyone else realizes he’s the next Nail Yakupov and he has no trade value.

I doubt the devils claim ghost since well owners may not want more $$$ going out

But if we are to move murray, kullikov and or vats it wouldn't be terrible

He is a disaster defensively so we wouldn't see much of a difference but he is very good offensively

Could also expose him for expansion

Also depends where we feel bahl and Walsh are and how close they may be

But you have a Vezina contending goalie! Ghost would allow him to stay sharp!

Debrusk reminds me of a young Palms actually. I'll be okay with this trade. Sign Pamls at 3 mil in offseason for 2nd/3rd line role.

Ghost reminds me of Marc-Andre Bergeron. His offense is something that you really want from the back end but he really is just a powerplay specialist. He's a nice piece to round out a contender but on a team like ours I'd rather get some stable players on the backend that can eat minutes while the kids learn how to play.

Claim Ghost. Package him for Gaudreau. Do you have something similar to JVR? Ek had that as an E4 all summer.

Congrats to zajac on his 200th

First game back for Marchand and he attacks one of our young stars again. How many times is he going to try to injure one of our guys this year with no consequences?

Then jumps into a hit on Kulikov. How many free passes is this guy going to get before the suspensions start coming in.

Wood needs to step and either fight marchand or rough up bergeron if he won't go.

I'm not one for retribution style plays because they are dangerous. But at some point what are we supposed to do if this guy keeps attacking our guys and the refs/league won't do anything about it?

DOPS will look at it and say he didn't cause any damage so who cares, then be completely shocked when he ends someone's season again.

Marchand is everything this league wants out of the game, but give him a free reign. Never picks a fight against some one bigger. He needs to get pounded because the league won't do the right thing.

He basically ruined two whole years of Marcus Johansson's career while he recovered from the effects of his concussion and probably cost him a lot in money on top of it. Why the NHL or the NHLPA is just okay with one of their players basically damaging the careers of their people is beside me.

That's a frustrating 3rd period and overtime. Don't know about subban and vatanen on the 4 on 3.

We got a lot of young guys not used to playing with leads. I'm okay with some blown games. But our power play personnel has been mindboggling all season. It makes no sense.

We spend 1:30 on the 3rd period PP just making poopty drop passes. Bruins didn't do any and gained the zone every time. I just don't understand why they keep doing it.
