I feel like if we are still moving marky and other wingers out like Kuzmenko and Mangi. Then Debrusk isn’t the worst kinda player to shelter our young guys. It would still be a retool/rebuild at least.

I like it. He’s a good sized middle six winger. I absolutely expect us to continue to shed assets for picks and he’s pretty young still.

I’ll never complain about a Free Agent signing during a rebuild (as long as it’s not another Neal). Get to that cap floor, baby.

Still young enough, he can be a part of turning the corner in a couple years and shines in the playoffs. Hopefully that compete gets the kids going development wise.
Hi_Im_Flabber
We are overflowing with middle 6 wingers at the moment, unless we move one of Mange or Kuzmenko first then idk

He’s what I imagine when I think of a prototypical Flames player. Would love him on the team.

He’s from Alberta, and I like him. But I’m worried he would take Peltier’s spot in the lineup

Like this. Great age, great player, and realistically fits in to all top 3 lines. Gives some flexibility for the trade market too.

I like it, *if* we’re trading mang+ another winger… he’d be a good presence and addition but we need room for youth too

Not enough is being said about how this would scramble Louie Debrusk’s eggs. 😜 That’s one Oilers telecast I would watch.
Generally speaking, I like the idea. I figure all the guys on expiring contracts are gonners. He should fit in well with the main guys we have shepherding the retool.

More wingers? Closer to 30 than 25

I expect both Mangiapane and Kuzmenco to be gone by the trade deadline at the max. So we could use deBrusk. Also, there are few enough players that want to come here so if he wants to, grab him while we can!

Doesn’t really make sense with this team’s timeline but it’s the exact kind of “we’re still trying to compete” move I expect this franchise to make

Louie would be so sad lol

I don’t know if we should tie 5mil on this guy
Paulhockey77
If we trade Mangiapane and bring in Debrusk I’d be fine with that. He could also be trade another trade piece as well

It’s interesting that there’s mutual interest–is it that he’s from AB?
