Former Bruins Jake DeBrusk - gone to Nucks

Wherever he ends up I hope he fixes his weird eyebrows

 

[Number8]

My kids have plenty of social media and one is a pretty highly thought of police officer and the other is a registered sonographer working in one of the greatest hospitals in the world....both see alot of death, despair and tragedy so soft isn't a word I would use for them,. I do guess they are sensitive since they are trying to do their part giving comfort to those who need it in some pretty bad situations. As far as being self centered, they have jobs that are pretty as selfless as it gets, but what do I know I sit behind a desk all day.

No, I get it. I'm definitely guilty of overgeneralizing. There are any number of social media uses that do great good. And most certainly a huge population of "young" people who are absolute champions.

I don't by any means mean to denigrate a whole generation. That would be foolish, short sighted and just make me one of those curmudgeonly old fools.

That said, I do think that Social Media provides an all too easy avenue for us all to fall prey to our most base impulses. Namely, self centered narcissism. And unfortunately, because the younger generation(s) have been raised and specifically targeted by the cynical algorithms that companies use to get us addicted to our devices and apps -- they take the brunt of that pressure.

Not their fault. But social media most certainly is something they have to consider very carefully how and how not to integrate into their lives.

It’s unfortunate because you can feel the potential he becomes an absolute scorcher for at least a year on a new team but it is what it is, wish him luck.

Oh the first year jake Debrusk redemption tour will be career highs no doubt

This sentiment reminds me of the time I read about the quote attributed to Socrates complaining about the youth and how they have bad manners, prefer luxury over hard work, contempt for authority, etc.

Since the beginning of time the older generation always thinks the next generation is worse than they were.

When in reality if the next generation was always getting worse since 500BC, we wouldn’t exist anymore

''Sorry I don't remember which subtweet you are referring to. I post a lot of nonsense.''
You got that right Gonzo.
It's an onward and upward trek, in spite of all seemingly contradictory appearances.

Your comment makes me SAngry. It's a word that meshes Angry with Sad -- I use it because I really have a deep need for as many people as possible to know just how sad and angry I am. Of course just telling a specific person that they "make me angry and sad at the same time" is, like, so last century.

But I've wasted enough time on you. Gonna go have breakfast and then need to post what I ate. Gonna do that because, well, I want total and complete strangers to know what I had for breakfast. And what I ate. And what I felt while eating it. And what they think about me. And my breakfast. And me. Did I say "me" already?

I work a ridiculously cushy tech job making way too much money working maybe 10-15 hours a week from home.

That's my preferred combination - you guys hiring?

Probably true.

But no more true than:

Young man tells a group of total randos that he’s got a dope new pair of sneakers…. and somehow expects somebody to give a shit.

Don’t forget to post when the first snowfall of the year happens and make sure to make it about yourself. One of the unwritten social media rules.

It’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

I really struggle figuring out which tv shows to watch during the day

 

[HustleB]

That’s good value for Toronto imo.

 

[JOKER 192]

Hate losing very good players for nothing especially one that plays a 200 foot game like Jake. His best days are in front of him.

Best part in all this will be all the Jake whiners can move on to someone else,

I have a few recommendation lol

 

[goldenblack]

None of us will mind him scoring 30 for Calgary for 7m per. Go get it Jake. We had our time.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Wherever he ends up I hope he fixes his weird eyebrows

Especially when he looks at his pay checks

Strong possibility.
Edmonton would be a preference but they just don't have the cap space. Jake would eat up a lot of the 9 mil the Oil have left.
Calgary looking good at 29 mil
But I wouldn't rule out Seattle or Nashville.

 

[IveGotToBeMe]

As much as I think he'd prefer to be closer to home in Edmonton, the Oilers don't have the cap space. Calgary is not that far but I think he takes the most $ he's offered. I like Jake as a player but he's not a $7MM per year guy and if he gets 7 year term as well someone is getting screwed. I'd be no more than $5.5MM per year for 5 years.

 

[HHHH]

I like JDB as a player and would prefer to see him back in Boston.

BUT, not at $7 million per year...

That's how I feel. Not for 7.

But 6? I'd do. 5.5 is ideal. But 6? Yes. 7? Nope.

 

[Boston Bruno]

I see tanev go to Toronto because he is probably going to sign there.. no collusion or anything l..but if they know jdb is gone then trade his rights for a sandwich coupon. Anything.
