Bruins Forward Linked To Two Western Canadian Teams

A new report from an NHL source has linked a Boston Bruins star forward to a major trade out West. According to the source, Jake DeBrusk has been drawing interest from both the Calgary Flames and the Edmonton Oilers.

With DeBrusk potentially on the trade block which landing spot would be the best for him and the Bruins if he is moved before the trade deadline?

Exploring Trade Scenarios For Top Bruins Forward

Jake DeBrusk is a top-line winger for the Boston Bruins this season. Despite his contributions to the lineup DeBrusk is an impending free agent which creates trade discussion. Both the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames are looking to revamp their forward groups and could find a place for Debrusk

In the Edmonton Oilers case, a top-six winger could be the exact addition the team needs to cement themselves as a Stanley Cup favorite. They have a relatively weak prospect pool and few picks to give up. This means a roster player would likely be going the other way or one of the few valuable future assets the Oilers have left would be spent on DeBrusk.

On the other hand, the Flames have plenty of future assets and top prospects that could interest the Boston Bruins. If they were to do a deal the Flames could likely easily entice the Bruins. However, with the Flames 5 points out of a playoff spot going all-in on a rental might not be a smart idea.

Depending on which team takes a run at Jake DeBrusk could impact how a potential trade is looked at. As the deadline approaches rumors will likely continue to pick up until either the deadline passes or a deal is made.
