Extending Jake DeBrusk - Now or Later for the Bruins?
Last season's cap challenges were just the beginning for the Boston Bruins. With ongoing signings, resignings, and roster adjustments, the team faces the ongoing jigsaw of player management.
One key piece in this puzzle is forward Jake DeBrusk, whose role in the Bruins' future plans looms large. Approaching the final year of his two-year bridge deal, re-signing him comes at a price, given his standout performance last year.
In the previous season, the 28-year-old showcased his potential with an impressive 50 points, consisting of 27 goals and 23 assists, all achieved in fewer than 70 games. Notably, his contribution wasn't limited to offense; he also played a crucial role in defensive efforts.
Looking ahead, DeBrusk will become an unrestricted free agent by the conclusion of the 2023-24 season. This advantageous position could facilitate contract discussions. The possibility of a team-friendly, more budget-conscious agreement might arise if DeBrusk is committed to remaining a loyal Bruin.
