Unrestricted free agent Jake DeBrusk has explicitly stated his intention to secure an agreement with the Boston Bruins, highlighting his continuous wish to stay on the team. DeBrusk underlines his strong bond with the city and his intense desire to achieve a Stanley Cup victory with the Bruins.
While Don Sweeney, the General Manager of the Bruins, maintains his policy of not publicly discussing contract talks, the statement made during the preseason remains the most recent direct reference to DeBrusk's potential renewal. The Bruins' winger is looking for a significant raise from his present salary cap of $4 million. There are rumors of a potential six-year contract worth $30 million, an investment that could significantly influence the team's future.
As negotiations progress, the key question is whether Sweeney, recognized for his firm decisions, will replicate the strategy he used two years prior. Back in the 2022 NHL Trade Deadline, Sweeney had secured a two-year, $8 million contract for DeBrusk. With the NHL Trade Deadline of March 8, 2024, fast approaching, the focus is on whether this scenario will repeat, and if DeBrusk will once again be signed by the Bruins. Keep an eye out for further developments in this ongoing contract story.
