Can’t extend until the summerHe is making more happen. Jake seems to have taken his game to a level I have never seen him play at before. Even better then we saw after last year's promotion. I don't tie that back to Cassidy completely, but the change obviously seems like a positive change for DeBrusk so far.
Also, I am wondering how soon is too soon to sign his extension, he is going to get paid alot after next year if we wait that long. I know Pasta first, but if he would extend I would consider it strongly.
Maybe the problem was Bruce all along
I’m starting to think DeBrusk is the second best wing on this team the way he is playing right now. He is driving play and he is dangerous. He is always actively involved never behind the play. His active stick skills seemed to have just been absorbed from Bergeron.
Why worry about an extension when you don’t know if he is consistent this year. A couple of good games doesn’t translate to an extension.He is making more happen.

I doubt any team is particularly close tooI don't know if he is better or worse than Hall. But, I do know that I would put Pasta, Marchand, Hall and DeBrusk against ANY teams top 6 wingers and feel like the Bruins come out on top.
No doubt I was being a bit hyperbolic. I should have said he was playing great and only Pasta was presently playing better. Anyhow just love the way the kid is playing this year. Feels like he has more potential then ever before.I don't know if he is better or worse than Hall.
