The rumor: The New York Rangers are seeking Jake DeBrusk in any kind of trade that would send Ryan McDonagh to the Bruins.
The source:
I'm hearing NYR would want Bruins' rookie Jake DeBrusk included in any deal for Ryan McDonagh. Ironic, since former Oiler GM Sather traded for Jake's dad Louie when he sent Mark Messier to NYR in 1991.

The rundown:
This isn't exactly surprising.
It's been rumored that the Rangers want a mixture of picks and prospects if they're going to move McDonagh, and DeBrusk is about as good an NHL prospect as the Bruins have.
