Personally, I think the 4th rounder is unnecessary. I like Debrusk, but the 2 prospects we would get in Lohrei and Harrison would be great. Lohrei is a 6'4" defenseman who put up 32 points in 40 NCAA games this past season. Obviously, he's offensive-minded with keen vision and playmaking ability, and can QB a PP. He's developed a nice two-way game as well, and is good at starting the breakout. Harrison is a 6'3" center with a great shot and is well known for his defensive game. His floor is 3rd-line C, IMO. I've watched him play many times, and while he's not flashy and keeps things simple, he's effective.

I don't think he was suggesting this as a trade so much as what a trade could look like / how it could work given what Boston has available and the cap etc. His quote:

"Obviously, I want to preface all of this with the fact that I’m not going for accuracy on a trade prediction here. However, this was an exercise to see if the trade would even be possible, and sure enough, it is. "
