Absolutely. Seeing all kinds of names and lots of varying opinions. Pressure is on to get a good player.

I hope they don't draft another small forward in the first round. WTF? Our President was one of the greatest power forwards in NHL history and yet Sweeney and co. keep drafting small players. In case they haven't noticed, the opposing teams that have eliminated us have generally been bigger and more physical rather than smaller and quicker. Please build future B's teams to be bigger and harder to play against.

Agree to a point. You need speed though. Lots of speed. We were too slow to handle Florida's forecheck. Florida is big, but also fast. Big and slow won't get it done any more.

I don't think you've been paying attention to the Bruins drafting under Sweeney if you think they haven't drafted larger players. Frederic, Beecher, Carlo, Lauzon, Lohrei, Swayman, Vladar are all 6'3 or taller who were drafted under Sweeney that have ended up in the NHL. Lauko, DeBrusk, McAvoy, Lindgren, Vaakanainen are all 6 foot or taller in the NHL.

You still think that’s what he gets as a UFA?

Ya if guys like mittlestadt who are averaging 13 more points a season the last couple years are getting $5.75 AAV then yes I think Debrusk will get less.

I bet middlestadt could have got a little higher going to a bottom feeder might have taken less to compete. If Debrusk wants more I don’t think it will be to a contender.

Still hoping Jake gets re-signed because I don't think they're gonna find a good replacement for him.

Especially when he produces in the playoffs

I see you triple down on this point a lot but for context Jake is on average a half ppg player in the reg season as well as the playoffs - he had a particularly strong post season this year, but that’s bordering on statistical anomaly and his contribution overall isn’t earth shattering

It could be moreso, probably, if he didn’t ghost so often

NHL network saying DeBrusk the type of versatile forward everyone looking for- one of hottest guys.

Bruins hf jake hater club, he suuuucks lol

I said it once and I will say it again, he will be highly sought after by just about every team in the NHL.

Donny was not wise to low ball him

He's definitely gone. Hoping he comes back. But that's not encouraging news.

I think once he's gone, many people will realize how much the team will miss him.

I don't think he's worth 7 mill. 6? I would do. Yes.

But shhh. People might think we actually have a club or know each other 😂 When in reality we're just two random ass posters who appreciate a player. 🤷‍♀️
