The 27-year-old forward is riding a four-game point streak with two goals and four assists during the Bruins four game win streak. Debrusk might be starting to heat up after a slow start. This however could have just increased his trade value for the team.
Boston Now Writer Mick Colageo has analyzed the chances that Debrusk gets traded. With a career full of inconsistency, injuries and trade requests along with some flashed of on ice brilliance, the Bruins and Debrusk find themselves at a crossroads. Bruin's history will tell you that Boston rarely resigns unrestricted free agents like Debrusk.
