Really, it's a $700K difference IMO.

Well, what you're really doing is banking on the hope that both players rejuvenate their games with the change of scenery. That would be the ideal scenario because the Bruins were really happy with Beleskey in his first season with them. If he can at the very least, partially rediscover his form, then it's a good trade.
At worst like I said, he plays 9 minutes a game on the 4th line or is a cheaper buyout then Brouwer. The overall body of work from the 4th line has been ridiculously underwhelming and they're constantly under water all game long, personally I think it's worth while gamble.
