Fan Favourites Time In Boston May Be Coming To An End
In the wake of significant departures from last year's Presidents' Trophy-winning team, the Boston Bruins are determined not to lose another key player to free agency.
General Manager Don Sweeney has confirmed that discussions are underway to secure an extension for forward Jake DeBrusk, who has come a long way since requesting a trade two years ago.
Sweeney's statement regarding the ongoing discussions was shared by Ty Anderson on October 9, 2023. However, beyond this confirmation, there are limited details available, as Sweeney did not provide further specifics.
The Bruins faced substantial losses in the offseason, with the retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, along with the departure of key unrestricted free agents like
Dmitry Orlov and
Tyler Bertuzzi.
Since withdrawing his trade request, Jake DeBrusk has become a vital component of the Bruins' offense. He scored 27 goals, achieved a career-high of 50 points, and maintained an impressive plus-26 rating.
Head coach Jim Montgomery recently praised DeBrusk's newfound confidence, highlighting his role as a potential leader in the team's locker room.
The focus now lies in securing DeBrusk's future with the Bruins, a process that appears to be in progress.
