Prospect Info: Jake DeBrusk

Does that even exist? Ovechkin in his first 5-6 years. Right now, Tarasenko maybe or Seguin? Probably depends on what qualify has "flashy", but I would say flashy and goals scorer in the NHL are two things that doesn't fit togheter often.

Dude, I was just re-using the word "flashy" that you had used in your previous post. Use any adjective you want...exciting, flashy, electric, whatever. The point was that the B's have a guy in Senyshyn that is potentially a "sniper" and a guy in DeBrusk that's not as "flashy", but plays a smart, effective game.

In regards to your "flashy goal scorers" don't exist in the NHL comment:

AO, Tank, Seguin, Stamkos, Larkin (speed), T Johnson, Gaudreau, Kucherov, even Pasta, etc., etc.


I consider all of those guys "flashy" in different ways.
 
For me, can't miss with Cameron Mann, Evgeni Ryabchikov and Rob Cimetta.
Mann had an 8 point night with Peterborough Petes.

Ryabchikov was probably the biggest stretch pick in NHL history.
Cimetta was an amazing Toronto Marlie....

Jeez.

Jake DeBrusk can't be this bad. Not a chance... :help:

That would be "potentially" missed opportunity.

DeBrusk and ZS perception - both fair and unfair - will have as much to do with their own performance as that of Barzal and Connor, whom were passed on in favor of whom Sweeney chose to take instead.

It is hard for me personally to not see Connor tear up NCAA and be considered one of top 5 NHL prospects (pre draft 16) and see DeBrusk who salvaged an OK reg season with a fantastic playoffs, and STILL feel Bruins took wrong guy.

I felt it on draft night and have yet to be proven wrong - maybe and hopefully that happens.

I thought it was a good pick and I haven't been proven wrong either.

Maybe I pick the wrong word since my native language is not English. What I mean is someone just pick whatever they like and ignore the rest. For example there are people just said he lit it up and his teammates were how awful, that is not the truth. He is really far away from lighting up. What about scoring several beauties and set up others. And I did say I don't care how many you scored before NHL. That is not important. But if you just rely on rushing and speed even you scored 100 in juniors I will be worried. You will never that kind of space in NHL. And I'm not saying he is bad, or don't act like I hate him. I just said that is my concerns and it won't be easy to translate that into NHL career, and he needs to learn a lot. And I did say a lot positive about him, you just ignore it. What I can do ?

What I mean is people just after draft+1 season, one score 45, wow,there are people call him elite prospect and future what what, then the other had an up and down season there are people call him bust. That is ridiculous. I think Jake will be easier to translate to NHL dut to the style. And that is my gut feeling, never said it is right. If one day Seny become what he projected, be a core player in the future cup winning team, I will be very happy for him. Even my beloved Connor become a HOFer, I won't be too sad.

I have a similar take/ gut feeling with those two. I like you bringing up Loui Eriksson - not a lot of flash but just very effective.
Debrusk has skill while playing a smart responsible game and is the kind of player that battles in the dirty areas. Maybe it doesn't work out but at the moment Bruins fans have all kinds of reasons to be excited about this pick.
Everyone should Try to catch him next Friday and Sunday in the memorial cup if you can.
 
He's the same size and shoots left like Adam Henrique. They both play around the net and are competitive three zone players with a feel for what is going on around them.

We already knew DeBrusk has good hands but the jump in assists is impressive especially since some are killing Sensyshyn for not having enough - what a surprise

I'm going with Henrique here

From the games I've taken in, this kid has some serious bite in his game. He put Sanheim over the bench on a huge body check. I'm going with Kunitz. Everything about their games are so similar.

Count me in on Karsums and Kalus.

Kalus was a tease! He actually performed well up here... then it went all downhill.

Actually wouldn't have surprised me if he made a career here had he stayed within this organization. Heard he had a lot of problems adapting into Minnesota's farm team, which was in Houston (or Iowa?) at the time. He also had a few Czech's here when he was developing, which I think was helpful.

Dallas just added another today signing Gurianov.. Love this kid.
 
Am I right to think of a Randy Burridge with a nasty streak?

I'm certainly eager to see him play.

*sighs*

But I was eager to see Spooner play and it seemed like six years until he made the big club.

I thought the Bruins screwed up on Kalus. He was pretty good in Providence. They should have left him down there to adapt.

did the Wild too screw him up or maybe he just wasn`t as good as many thought he would be

Point taken. I'll tell you, I saw him dominate down in Providence at times. Saw a crazy snipe in Springfield one night from the top of the right circle on his off wing, that was impressive. Sometimes these kids don't fit outside of hockey. IDK. I don't know what happened in Minny. Home sick????

been watching now almost 40 decades, while living in NFLD, had a chance to watch a ton of AHL hockey, saw some terrific talent down there who`s games never could translate to the pro game

Dominance in the AHL doesn`t always mean the same at the NHL level, ask Jody Gage;)

This kid gets no love but he had a very strong playoff statistically and will be playing in the Memorial Cup soon.

Haven't seen a lot of him live but the games I've seen and folks I respect who watch him like him.

He strikes me as a guy who's going to be a really good player.

I'm super excited about him but he gets little buzz- he plays down low and battles in every zone

Also WBC8 loved him last year and he is on an epic roll at least in his texts to me the past year getting **** right so not going against Lou and he likes him quite a bit

He played very well in playoffs which is very good sign

Excited the Rebels are in hosting Memorial Cup so can see him

Btw mods can you correct name to Jake

For those watching the Memorial Cup some London Knights to watch. Obviously the big names available. Tkachuk and Juolevi (who I would move up to pic if possible). Cliff Pu who has exploded in the second half and playoffs, Robert Thomas (not draft eligible), Victor Mete (he's one of the top skaters I've seen here in a decade-fun to watch) and for good measure Max Jones.
