Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk II

[Estlin]

Unless some freak slump/injuries happen. He's gonna be here for awhile.

I wouldn't worry about it. Kid loves it here. Sweeney doesn't want to give him up (I don't think he does anyway).

The optics of Boston trading the only 2015 first-round pick who is panning out would be horrible.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

Even when he’s not playing well, I like him. Great attitude, great effort, loves being in Boston. It’s hard to imagine ever letting him go.

 

[Beesfan]

I remember the reports on him during his draft year was he was a decent but not great skater. Didn't have much burst the first couple times I saw him as a 19 year old. Now he has got to be the fastest player on the team. He just blows past players. Not sure what changed with him.

 

[Greek_physique]

As everyone was referring to him yesterday....I love Louie DeBrusk.

Currently my fav. player on the team

 

[The don godfather]

Only 22 and hitting 30 goals soon . I remember when we were getting rick Nash last year Gorton was asking for debrusk in exchange lol.

Lord.

Would have been an absolutely unforgivable trade.

Jake is now starting playing better then Barzal and now has more goals. It's still a long way but he might be the better player when it's all said and done.

This board would explode

The funny thing is, he's got a lot of Nash in his game, at least I've personally thought so lately. Kid is a stud. He's a future letter wearer for sure. The "young" core of this team is coming together and it's in real good shape with Pasta, Mac, Carlo, Jake etc.

DeBrusk has reached a level over the last 10 games that I wasn't sure he had. Obviously not expecting him to become a 120 pt guy, which is his pace over the last 10. I had always pegged him for being a potential solid hard working 25 goal 50 point type player, but he does now look like a guy who may be a 35 goal type of player

Most of the uproar was taking Senyshyn over Barzal.

News flash-

The kids still HOT!

Just hit the 20 goal mark for the first time in his young career

STILL HOT!

 

[Hamilton Brian]

Yeah, hot!

 

[Krupp]

34 points in 56 games. Not sure what that totals up to over a full season, but all things considered, I'd still say i'm happy with this kid sticking. if he's a perennial 20 goal scorer every year, that's a keeper right there

I would say he was at the same level last playoffs... I traded connor hellebuyck in my sim league to get debrusk so I was sort of hoping for a 30 goal-65 point season

he definitely struggled for a 25-35 game stretch earlier this year [the injury didn't help] but I guess some sophomore struggles are normal for most second year players... now hes back at that pace I was hoping for based on last years playoffs {maybe even a bit better now?}

he shows us something when he is hot... a nose for the net... the ability to skate there before the defense is ready... and some sweet goal scorer hands

if he continues to want it... if he continues to battle for his ice and go to the net... hes going to continue to produce.

a very nice selection by the scouts/braintrust going off the board to tab this guy

 

[Pay Carl]

STILL HOT!

He’s a good hockey player too

 

[Dellstrom]

Most of the uproar was taking Senyshyn over Barzal.

I remember this. Zboril was slotted right around #12-15 and it was basically a guarantee we would draft him. DeBrusk was projected for mid-late 1st round. He wasn't Barzal or Connor so people got worried as we only had 1 pick left. Senyshyn was a projected 3rd round pick I believe which completed the meltdown.

I remember someone saying the Leafs and Red Wings were both interested in DeBrusk, so they were at least very right on that one. Instead, a few years later, he's the killing blow to the Leafs in their biggest game since he got drafted. I'm definitely buying his jersey. He was born to be a Bruin.

 

[TaroTsujimoto]

Best acceleration on the team. Great play on the GWG tonight. Keep it going Jake.

The only thing I see comparable with Nash is the streakiness. Nash was notorious for that but when he was on, watch out. Otherwise I don't see the similarity. But love his game no matter, he's so fun to watch.

 

[PB37]

How lucky are we to have our top two left wingers that work as hard like Marchand and DeBrusk? Total puck hounds that never stop attacking the puck and the skill to do something with it.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Jake continuing to show why he can be a potential 30 goal, 60+ point player. Just needs to find a little more consistency. Injuries didn't help this year. He has 22 goals, on pace for 28 goals, and didn't score a goal for 13 straight games.... He pots even a few in during that stretch, he's sitting pretty at 24-25 right now on pace of over 30+ .... Love this kid!

 

[prizminferno]

Can we sign him now? I want him as a Bruin forever.

 

[BruinDust]

15 points in his last 10 games. 8 of them goals. Best stretch of hockey of his career.

 

[Elimanator]

I'm so jealous of this guy. Heart and soul guy. Hitting his stride with Pastrnak out. Gonna be a leaf killer for life. Glad I picked him up in my hockey pool though. Must be a fan favourite.

Everyone loves him. Personality, cellys and performance.
