Bruins GM Hints At Possibly Trading A Star Forward
Jake DeBrusk's journey with the Boston Bruins has seen its share of twists and turns. A few years back, he requested a trade, casting doubt on his future with the team. However, cooler heads prevailed, and he extended his contract in March 2021.
Now, as that contract nears its end, DeBrusk is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the close of the 2023-24 NHL season. Interestingly, it appears that both sides are more inclined to continue their partnership. The Bruins' management, led by General Manager Don Sweeney, expressed their intent to engage in talks with DeBrusk and his representatives. The goal is to determine if Jake wishes to remain with the Bruins, and if so, find common ground for a new agreement.
However, it's worth noting that if DeBrusk doesn't perform up to expectations, his future in Boston could take a different turn. The trade deadline looms as a potential crossroads, where the Bruins may consider using his assets to acquire key pieces that could aid in a deep playoff run and pursuit of the coveted Stanley Cup.
DeBrusk's recent season was a standout, contributing significantly to the team's record-breaking achievements in wins and points during the regular season. Sweeney praised Jake's performance and resilience in the face of injuries, acknowledging his pivotal role.
Looking ahead, DeBrusk aims to build on his career year as the Bruins embark on their 2023-24 NHL season, commencing on October 11 with a home game against the Chicago Blackhawks. It's a season of fresh opportunities and renewed hopes for both DeBrusk and the Bruins.
