Bruins Rumors: 2 Canadian Teams Linked To Jake DeBrusk

Thursday, February 29, 2024 , ,

Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk has been heating up in trade rumors lately, with Jimmy Murphy linking him with a potential move to the Edmonton Oilers or the Calgary Flames.

One proposed trade scenario has seen DeBrusk potentially moving to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Mikael Backlund, with the Bruins looking to strengthen their center position.

Despite DeBrusk's productive season last year, where he tallied 50 points in 64 games, the rumors of his trade persist, suggesting that the Bruins are seeking a more suitable fit for their current roster needs​.

Moreover, DeBrusk's connection to the Edmonton Oilers has also been a topic of interest.

Being a local Edmontonian and with his father, Louie DeBrusk, having ties to the Oilers as a commentator, Jake DeBrusk's name has surfaced in discussions about bolstering the Oilers' lineup.

His $3.65-million cap hit is seen as manageable for the Oilers, who are in search of effective ways to utilize their cap space without making a significant financial commitment.

The speculation is grounded in DeBrusk's performance challenges with the Bruins, where he has struggled to maintain consistency, further fueling the trade talks​.

This season, DeBrusk has 13 goals and 27 total points over 58 games played, a downturn from his previous seasons' performances.

As the trade rumors surrounding DeBrusk start to heat up yet again, it will be very interesting to see if the 27-year-old will finally be moved out of Boston, the city he's spent all seven years of his NHL career with. Photo Credit: Bob DeChiara-USA TODAY Sports
