Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk VIII

[DKH]

I still think JDB the better player. Especially considering he played a good portion of the season with a busted hand. Its gonna come down to $$$$.

DeBrusk broke hand ?

I hope they keep him

As Brad said the playoffs are a different animal

DeBrusk is in cruise control in regular season and a level above in playoffs

I’d go 6x6

True. And we are discussing production.

But, Freddy was +5 and Geekie even while Jake was -5.

How many were on for empty net pulled goals

[McGarnagle]

As inconsistent as he is every year, he always lifts his game in the postseason. I'd bring him back, I just don't think he'd re-sign here given the media scrutiny and some of the stuff we've said about him here. Seems like a kid who will be happier in Western Canada.

I don’t really care. In game 6 Debrusk was blocking shots, making plays, and skating with purpose. Geekie was meh and Freddy had the yips and single-handedly killed at least 4 solid scoring chances with terrible passes. Neither of those guys should be in the top 6 on a team with cup hopes. Debrusk is on a different level.

 

[Mione134]

Jake was in good company in the playoffs. Look at these players above, tied, or below him.

But sure, let's just get rid of a proven playoff performer.

Not a great response.

Yes Game 6 Debrusk was the better player. And yet he still managed to be on the ice for both Florida goals.

Jake was also credited with 1 takeaway in the 13 games. The lowest total on the team. Could be a factor in his team worst -5.

Possibly 1.

Only one empty net goal allowed by B's. Game 3 when Jake had a meaningless goal and an assist in the third period, down 4-0.

Happenstance.

Watching Jake, he had a very good series in both ends of the ice. I think he helped his cause in getting a good contract more than hurt it with his playoff run.

Honestly Western Canada is worse they can't go out for dinner and take a piss without someone wanting an autograph. Our dudes pass through anywhere pretty anonymous. HF hating isn't that bad they don't read this cesspool and honestly its only 5-6 losers who trash our players everyone else is pretty normal and reasonable.

If we don't keep him the trade/roster threads will just be full of the same idiots that trashed him begging for a wing like him.

Fast- check
Physical-check
Clutch-check

Except Jake was none of those things except fast. He's not physical and he's not clutch.

$6 million AAV isn't worth it for 10 playoff games when he's captain inconsistent for the other 82. He's barely worth $4.5 million. This team should let him go and bring the next man up.

 

[Oates2Neely]

DeBrusk will ride shotgun with McDavid next season and score 40 goals

Jake seems to play better with daddy Louie in attendance any chance we sign Louie to the broadcast team.

Do you honestly think Jake knows (or would care) about what is said here?

 

[MattFromFranklin]

I don't see any realistic scenario where Sweeney lets him go. His best offer will come from Boston.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

I don't see any realistic scenario where Sweeney lets him go. His best offer will come from Boston.

And likely before FA starts

I sure hope you are correct next to signing Swayman this should be Sweeney's biggest priority

 

[UncleRico]

I mean if he played with Mcdavid he would have a chance. Hell mcdavid turned puljujarvi into an almost .5ppg player for two years and look what happened with hyman

 

[goldenblack]

Oilers don't have the money to pay Jake so that's out.

But someone like Chicago could easily give him just under 8M.

Utah is my guess as to where he`s moved to

Especially after another strong playoffs. Played through a broken hand this season, had the broken leg last season. A healthy motivated Debrusk is as good as 2nd liner as most teams have.

 

[SPV]

I read the Debrusk exit comment about thinking the extension would already be done as it’s close and likely to bring him back.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

Yeah I agree, I think they have been close for months. Not sure whether the sticking point is a bit of salary, or years, or even how much and how long NTC

 

[Babajingo]

That's ok. Cause he isn't doing it here, that's for sure.

 

[bme44]

I so hope you are wrong. Letting DeBrusk if he can be signed for 6mil or less would be a grave mistake IMO

 

[bearcountry17]

9 goals and 17 points in 20 games his last two playoffs. He doesn’t need to score 40 in regular season to deserve a decent bump in pay. Last time I checked it’s not a good idea to get rid of your leading playoff scorer but what do I know.
