Seravalli feels that Debrusk will end up in the Western Conference particularly in the province of Alberta and that the Calgary Flames will be doing their best to outbid Edmonton. The Flames have been going through a turbulent time in their history as a parade of players have chosen to either not sign long term or demand a trade from the organization.
Matthew Tkachuk, Johnny Gaudreau, Elias Lindholm and recently Jacob Markstrom have all departed the Flames which has left them devoid of talent and with the stockpile of draft picks and prospects.
Playing for the Boston Bruins, Debrusk was drafted by the team in 2015, first round, 14th pick overall. Despite having a down season in terms of production, Debrusk's playoff performance was far better has he played thirteen games, scoring five goals with six assists for 11 points.
