Maybe because one guy led our team in points and goals in the playoffs and the other guy had one assist in 8 games.
When you step back and look at big picture the Bruins need a top 6 W who can chip in with 20 goals, play up and down and left and right - and special teams and with experience

I heard the Pina Colada song (I think it’s called Escape?) but Rupert Holmes sang it and Jake DeBrusk & the Bruins popped in my head

There’s gotta be a sign there

Donny - 6/40 NMC let’s go !!!!!

We already know Jake’s not into health food ….and likes the dunes on the Cape & Islands

Going out tonight for chineee food with buds usually drink Mai Tais or Head Hunters - think I’ll get a Pina collada to get this deal moving along

On that note I read somewhere he's not into yoga, and sometimes plays like he has half a brain.
We'll know soon.

I wish they would define what mutual interest is. Because, you know they can't show any interest in each other because that's tampering.

It always baffles me.
This is a pretty open secret, no? How else is it that teams always have contracts locked down for day 1 of free agency?

I know that. I speak of it often. Still doesn't explain "showing mutual interest" because they just don't do that because of tampering charges.
Well sure, I guess it should be "having" mutual interest rather than "showing". But otherwise it seems pretty self-explanatory. I doubt debrusk/calgary are happy that word got out.

All assuming it's true, of course.

Red Wings #1 target


Sharks # 1 target

NHL network saying DeBrusk the type of versatile forward everyone looking for- one of hottest guys

Thankfully Bruins farm system overflowing with top 6 wingers

Both teams need top 6 players and both have almost $30M+ to spend in free agency. He can play on both sides of the ice, PK and PP, is fast, and is good for at least 20G a season.

He can maybe get close to $7M AAV playing on a rebuilding team next to Will Smith or Celebrini or make that much playing next to someone like Larkin.

Unless DeBrusk really wants to be a Bruin, he's most likely gone.

I am very curious to see where he ends up.

Edmonton wouldn’t surprise me at all. Vancouver even?

He might sign with the highest bidder.

Maybe Chicago can dump some cap into him?

He is going to be one of the more sought after free agents.

So, it seems like so far:

IN
Goals against (the bad kind)
4th line banger
25 OA


OUT
Goals for (JDB)
Goals against (the good kind that saved us this season)
$2M Cap (Linus less Korpisalo)
$5M Cap (JDB)

ONGOING
4 Years of $3M Cap Hit

Not the start I’d hoped for, to be honest.

Hope 25OA is a consensus win. Really really hope 25OA is a HUGE consensus win. No f***ing experiments taking a projected 3rd rounder because he’s a character guy.

This is one of the more open fields at the bottom of the first round than I can remember. I see a lot of different looking lists for this part of the round.

Still hoping Jake gets re-signed because I don't think they're gonna find a good replacement for him.

Especially when he produces in the playoffs

Absolutely. Seeing all kinds of names and lots of varying opinions. Pressure is on to get a good player.
