I put this comment up on the last (pregame) thread.
About a month or so ago, I read an interview (wish I could remember where) with Don Sweeney. He was asked if talks have started on extending JDB. He answered (paraphrasing) that "we have to see if Jake still wants to be here since he requested to be traded the season before last."
I thought that was very telling. I will try to find the interview and post it here.

But here's the actual interview so I was a bit off.

“We're going to have communication with Jake and his representation, and we'd like to know if Jake indeed does want to be here and hopefully we can find common ground,” Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said, via NHL.com. “We'd like to see Jake remain with the Bruins.”

Bruins GM Reveals True Feelings On Jake DeBrusk Ahead Of Contract Year

Boston Bruins general manager Don Sweeney opened up about a potential Jake DeBrusk extension as the forward enters a contract year.

IMO, Jake is a sensitive guy and (also JMO) he looked like he was sulking during the last game.

This isn't a good look from DeBrusk. A key player missing a team meeting on the first roadie. You assume Montgomery and DeBrusk are going to get questions
on this.

DeBrusk is 27 and about as dangerous and troublesome as a puppy dog

He’s a likeable airhead

Based on the way he packs for trips he probably got off on the wrong floor

Monty been trying to get control the last few days

If we find out DeBrusk is the Ass Crack Bandit now I am concerned

Hopefully it's a lot of nothing and it blows over. I'm glad Monty is setting a line in the sand somewhere. Debrusk should get the message.

The first game against a good team on the road and you're sat for missing a team meeting isn't nothing.

It is your standard GM speak but there will be people in the media looking for clicks that will try to tie these comments into what happened now which is unfair.

My hope is that Jake doesn't duck the questions asked and that he is honest about what happened and accepts Monty's decision. If he ducks it and brushes it off then that's an entirely different conversation.

So whats monty to do? Let him off ? No one is above the team. Your late there’s consequences and thats being scratched. As far as this affecting negotiations go this to me is a strike agaist Jake. Bruins organization does not look highly on discipline issues with players. Remember what happened to Seguin?

Might want to keep an eye on him. Seems he had some wandering fingers last week between periods setting up some night time entertainment for his boys. Reel him in Jim!

That's what I'm thinking. It's not like Jake has a history of snorting coke in his hotel room with hookers. This isn't the Capitals. I'm thinking it was likely sleeping through an alarm or trying to beat his high score in a video game and losing track of time. I would be absolutely shocked if there is anything more at play than just a coach being a coach and letting the team know that rules will be followed.

could have kept it in house so it doesn't become a spectacle, but the Bruins made it public now so here we are holding a FA accountable. It's now a distraction .
