The Boston Bruins have signed forward Jake DeBrusk to a 2-year deal that carries an annual average value of $4 million, according to Chris Johnston of TSN:
DeBrusk has long ago expressed his desire to get out of Boston via a trade, and that has made him among the most interesting players to monitor ahead of the trade deadline. Although the Bruins have inked him to a fresh deal, that doesn't mean he's going to finish the season in Boston threads, as this could just be the first part of a sign-and-trade move.
Recently, Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said that Boston is open to looking for trade partners for DeBrusk if that would net them an asset — or assets — that would fit nicely with the team.
Via Ty Anderson of 985 Sports Hub:
“I’ll continue to explore,” Sweeney said. “I don’t think Jake has changed his opinion, but that doesn’t mean [a trade] happens and I’ve said that from Day 1. If I can make it fit for the Boston Bruins and helping our team — and Jake’s helping our team — I would certainly only do it with the fact that it’s going to help our team.”
There shouldn't be a shortage of teams that are at least willing to kick tires on DeBrusk, who has 15 goals and 11 assists in 57 games this season with the Bruins, as he could be the answer to depth issues and lack of scoring punch in the middle and bottom lines.
