I'm with ya. I'd try to sign him for 5. I know he was betting on himself for more. But that's the number I'd go for right now.

agree. If he will sign for under 5 I would be OK, but NO way would give him a huge expensive contract.
Probably we see a Bertuzzi-light situation.
Someone is gonna give him 5.75M times 3, which is dumb because with us he'd have probably gotten 5.5 times 6+
With him, gryz, lucic and forbert done at the end of this year, that frees up a good chunk of change to spend on a good player. After they re-sign Swayman and trade Ullmark.
I mean at this point he might get $7m. If Sweeney thinks a fringe 6th/7th defender in Peeke is worth $2.75m can’t imagine what he views is acceptable to pay Debrusk

Jake is a good player, what winger are we signing in the off season that's better? Bruins better re-sign him.
Jake's end of season and playoffs will decide a lot about what Jake gets. Now we have to see what THAT is.
DeBrusk had no news on a new contract, but reiterated his desire to stay in Boston and that he thinks it’s reciprocal.
“Yeah, of course. I’ve said it from the start . . . that hasn’t changed anything,” he said. “It’s easy to get emotional or upset or anything like that on these things. But I understand it’s a business and you’ve got to do what’s best for the team or you.”

under 5 ????
I’m 6/40
Go to cap friendly and tell me on the UFA list which player better than him is coming in under 5 who is good
I landed on 0.0
Bergeron & Pastrnak want him here I’m good with that
So since the UFA list is weak in the summer of 2024 we commit to Jake for 6 years and almost $7m?
Throwing 6 years at jake because of one weak UFA class isn’t smart.
6.67 million AAV?
I think if the Bruins were to offer that, Jake's agent would have said draw up the contract right now.
Just my two cents worth.
There’s no “getting rid of him at the draft”. There’s no trade for him any more. You either sign him or let him walk.
Wow. That's rich for my blood.
Imagine the pressure on JDB if he's making nearly $7M!
In some ways, that kind of contract might end up being a yoke around his neck. He does not handle pressure particularly well - nice kid or not. On that at least I hope we all can agree.
I wouldn't go over 5 m.
He will be under watch big time if the contract is too much (even if isn't) by fans who have been disappointed in the past by his inconsistency.
I can just see it now "Everyone hates Jake...Boo Hoo".
I've said it a thousand times, JDB is at his best when he has stability. Stability in life, teammates, linemates and position. History speaks.
I actually thi k he will be ok when he signs a deal. Question is what that deal is worth.

with an extension question of do you pay for what he is, or do you pay for what his potential is
