Bruins Rumors: Interest Growing In Jake DeBrusk

Wednesday, February 28, 2024 ,

As the NHL trade deadline rapidly approaches, interest in Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk is reaching a fever pitch, yet again.

Despite the Bruins' strong standing in the Atlantic Division, concerns surrounding DeBrusk's inconsistent performance and impending free agency have propelled him into the spotlight for potential trade deals.

With DeBrusk's future in Boston uncertain amidst stalled contract negotiations and fluctuating on-ice contributions, speculation is mounting that the Bruins may seize the opportunity to capitalize on his trade value rather than risk losing him for nothing in free agency.

DeBrusk's versatility and offensive prowess make him an attractive target for teams seeking to bolster their forward depth for a playoff push.

The 27-year-old has taken a step back after career-best season last year, scoring 13 goals and 27 points across 58 games played this season.

Rumors abound regarding potential destinations, with his hometown Edmonton Oilers frequently mentioned as a potential landing spot.

Last year, DeBrusk put up 27 goals and 50 total points over 64 games played, beating his previous career-best of 43 points, which he achieved in his rookie season.

While DeBrusk has expressed a desire to remain with the Bruins, the team he's spent his entire seven-year career with, the team's management may prioritize maximizing his trade value to reshape the roster and strengthen their postseason prospects. Photo Credit: Brian Fluharty-USA TODAY Sports
