Former Bruins Jake DeBrusk - gone to Nucks

[bruinsfan1968]

More BS about the 2015 draft, it's over so move on!

 

[UncleRico]

He's played riding shotgun with Crosby so you have to think he is happy there and took a bit of a discount.

And Debrusk played with bergy/Marchand on the first line for two years which inflated his stats. otherwise he’s only broke 20 goals once when away from bergy/marchand.

$7m is insane for him. Should be much closer to Bryan rusts contract.

Kindly, what the f*** is going on in here?

 

[OldScool]

Zero chance I sign Debrusk if I was Sweeney. I would gladly put that money towards players with more upside and potential. Debrusk is what he is...a streaky good depth guy who wants a big payday. Pass.

Your sentiment is not wrong. I would gladly keep Jake at the right price(mine is 5.5 or less), meaning a contract that works for Boston. Every team needs players like Jake, but you simply don't overpay for players like Jake.
If he's looking for a huge payday, bye. BTW 5.5 would be a 37.5% increase ... who here wants a 37.5% increase in their pay?

Terrible comparison. They are polar opposites.

If Debrusk can be signed for an average of 6mil per year he must be kept.

If it is 7mil per year it becomes more questionable . Still think Donny has to consider signing him. @ 7mil 5years max

Heinen Two years max : 2mil per year max. Would like to see it @1.5 or 1.75 mil

There way I look at it, you need Jake or a replacement, there is no internal replacement.

There are a few better players on the market (Guentzel, Reinhart , Marchessault) . The first 2 will cost dramatically more money, the 3rd will cost more and is very risky because you will be buying his mid and late 30s years. And honestly who knows if any will even make to July 1 as free agents.

One you get past that group there are a bunch of flawed payers out there All are going to cost roughly similar to Jake, and most will get roughly similar years and protections.

Why not keep the guy who is loved in the locker room, loves it here, and wants to be here,

Now using that song as a reference of irony is actually ironic since all her examples in the song are not ironic.

Sometimes I think nothing gets by you.

Are you really comparing a 2-time 100-point scorer to one time 50-point scorer Debrusk?

 

[lopey]

Problem with debrusk is he doesn’t not elevate anyone else’s game. Not a line driver. He needs hall of famers to play with for his best to show.

That is what I pointed out but was told it was giberish.
