Jake DeBrusk has been in the NHL trade rumors mill for several seasons due to his dislike for former head coach Bruce Cassidy, which led him to request a trade out of Boston.
Reports are now making the rounds that he wants to stay in Boston and wants to sign a long-term contract.
Jake DeBrusk will not be traded by the Boston Bruins
NHL trade rumors suggest that Jake DeBrusk is seeking an eight-year deal similar to the one recently signed by Brandon Hagel with the Tampa Bay Lightning.
It’s expected that Debrusk will request $6.5 million a year for the maximum term from the Bruins. If the NHL trade deadline arrives and Boston is not in a playoff position, the Bruins may consider trading DeBrusk for draft assets if a contract cannot be negotiated.
What are NHL Fans saying about the Boston Bruins signing Jake DeBrusk?
He will be traded. We need a centerman not not a winger.
Please Do not give him $6 million a year. DeBrusk needs to be packaged up for a legit center.
He will be paid and deserves it. I hope he stays with the Bruins long-term but I guess it depends on the year the B’s have.
Who says Debrusk is staying with the bruins? they need a number one centre don’t kid yourself into thinking Zacha is it, he isn’t. adequate second line centre but he is not a first line centre. Coyle is not the answer to the second line. Get busy Sweeney!
