Jake DeBrusk was the Boston Bruins most accomplished first round pick in the 2015 draft, but now he has left the team and signed a big contract with the Vancouver Canucks.
Amidst DeBrusk signing in Vancouver for a 7-year / $5.5 million AAV deal, Canucks GM Patrik Allvin released a statement praising the newest member of the team.
«Jake will be a great addition to our top six and gives us another offensive option up front,» said Allvin. «He is a smart two-way player who plays with pace. He isn't afraid to go to the tough areas of the ice and uses his strong motor and determination to drive play.»
DeBrusk, 27, appeared in 80 games with the Boston Bruins in 2023.24 posting 40 points (19-21-40), 18 penalty minutes, and a +4 plus/minus rating. He also appeared in 13 playoff games last season recording 11 points (5-6-11) and two penalty minutes.
The 6'1», 198lbs forward has played 465 career regular season games, all with Boston, recording 266 points (138-128-266), 101 penalty minutes, and a +51 plus/minus rating. The Edmonton, Alberta native has appeared in 86 career playoff matchups, posting 47 points (27-20-47) and 36 penalty minutes.
DeBrusk was originally selected by the Boston Bruins in the first round, 14th overall, in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.
DeBrusk didn't hold back on how he felt about the Boston Bruins and fired a shot at the team stating he is happy he is in a place that can win.
"I wanted to go to a team that could win, and I'm very lucky that they wanted me." DeBrusk said.
The 27-year-old is implying that the Boston bruins don't have what it takes to go all the way and win the Stanley Cup.
