Former Bruins Jake DeBrusk - gone to Nucks

[Babajingo]

Ouch 7 years. suckers.

 

[PB37]

Good luck Jake!

 

[MarchysNoseKnows]

5.5!

Congrats! Big day for you. Enjoy it.

Debrusk is exhibit A is how overrated players here are by fans.

Have to wonder what Sweeney was offering where they were “far apart” on a deal

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Signing Debrusk to this fair extension along with Swayman, Zadorov, and Lindholm would have been a great move for the Bruins.

Now a top 6 sized hole in the roster and the Bruins prioritized a 3rd pair defenseman.

 

[UncleRico]

Congrats! Big day for you. Enjoy it.

Thanks man my thoughts are with you after you today. I know you thought he was a $7+ player and that Lindholm/zadorov sucks so I just want to let you know I hoping the best for you today.

 

[BradMarchandismydad]

I’m gonna really miss this guy. Loved him the whole time through thick and thin.

He’s gonna crush it out west. Book it!

 

[DoubleBack]

Thank goodness!

 

[Ladyfan]

Good Luck Jake. I hope you do well on your new team.

Yeah not a good day. Appreciate your concern. I’ll take no questions at this time.

Thank you Jake! Good luck!

Good for @NeelyDan too, who will no longer have to suffer his eyebrows!

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Yeah not a good day. Appreciate your concern. I’ll take no questions at this time.

Ok

 

[MattFromFranklin]

Best of luck to Jake.

RIP to the 2015 Bruins 1st round

 

[Kalus]

Just glad the Bruins didn’t sign that deal. Far too much term for this particular player.

 

[Sigh]

Wouldn't have hated giving him that much, but I'm happy to move on.

 

[McGarnagle]

I liked him when he was motivated, I liked him in the playoffs, the rest of the time...eh.

This was a divorce a long time coming. Wish him success over there.

I won't miss all the drama on the boards between the posters who irrationally loved him and the posters who irrationally hated him.

 

[Mione134]

7 years is a lot. 5.5 is something I would of done. But understand the business. I wish him all the success. The Nucks got a good player, and he'll do well there.

Good Luck, Jake!

 

[TD Charlie]

Will Vancouver coddle him as required?

Deuces.

 

[Olden McGroin]

Old man Louie gets to analyze a few more games that Jake's playing in

 

[Boston Bruno]

I believe we have become one of the slowest teams with the loss of lauko boqvist and debust.

[Canucks LB]

Hey guys, can we get an honest scouting report on what Vancouver is getting?

Most importantly, I’m wondering how physical he plays, I heard he’s inconsistent, what’s the reasoning, thanks

Not a physical player really at all. Scores in bunches and disappears for 15-20 games at a time.

When he’s motivated he’s great. When he faces any adversity he crumbles and disappears.

You’ll get motivated jake the first year and love him and then after that you’ll have a love hate relationship.

 

[Wisp]

no one asked this canucks fan, but its an interesting swap for a team that had extra centers but not enough wingers to a team with an abundance of excellent and good wingers but no centers.

I have no doubt Lindholm will look great between Marchand and Pasta. If he's declining, no one will be able to tell. Similarly I think Debrusk will be excellent with Pettersson.

Yeah some fans the other day were overrating Lauko big time here
