I could see league interest in Garland, but DeBrusk is a tough sell. Middle 6 winger who doesn't drive the play in any way and is super-hot/cold. Think Kuzmenko/Sharangovich kind of hot/cold. DeBrusk would be frustrating to watch and a guy you don't want to invest in the term he's got. The only team that could probably make some sense of that contract is Edmonton by swapping Mangiapane++ for him. But even then, the Oilers would still have to ship out some salary. And most of their roster has trade protection. Why you'd give Mangiapane and Henrique trade protection is beyond me.
