Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk II

[Over the volcano]

He’s missing a b game that he can fall back on when the goals aren’t coming

 

[Thomas 11]

Seems to be coasting too much. Has great wheels that i don’t see much. Needs to get stronger as well, always on his butt in corner battles. Still a big fan, just need to see more from him(among others).

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

My gut feeling is that it might work that well between Debrusk and Cassidy. Debrusk body language seem imo frequently non confident.

I’m coach I put him on right side

he was a 2:1 assist goal guy in Providence

has an excellent shot and great hands

right side open up ice to make plays as he can barrel to the net or cut across

Well this is very interesting. Could try him at Pastrnak place... playing on opposite wing is tough in the d zone...but it could be tried.

WTG Heinen!

Smh

Trade him. At least that way i dont have to see him with krejci ever again.
Has there have been a worse duo that a coach is so unwilling to separate?

Maybe they could get a young 2nd line wing who could pot close to 30 goals for him.

Not sure why they don’t try Debrusk with Bergeron and Marchand and pasta with krejci. Trouble is who goes on the other side of krejci. You don’t want to have it he somethibg like Pasta Krejci Bjork because they will likely get tossed around a lot

Probably won't try it because they don't like DeBrusk on his off-wing.

How long we going to run with the almost 30 goal guy? The kid is in over his head as a second liner. In fact his center should be a third line center at this stage of his career.

I would move him in a second for a legit second line player.

They should but what do I know hockey’s my third sport

I would put him at third line LW as well over second line LW as long as Coyle C

Id like to see his game over there. Bergeron and Marchand would be perfect. Then try Bjork on the LW and Pastrnak on the RW.

 

[The National]

Yes, please.

Kid needs a wake up call, he looks like he doesn’t give a damn out there. James Neal like effort, only cares when he has a scoring opportunity.

It’s been what- half a season, is that too long to give him? Time for a trade?

That shits bananas

IMO his game has fallen off as he’s become more one dimensional- waiting for other players to set him up and spring him. Playing with Coyle would only exacerbate it.

Rather the kid get a couple days off and a couple games on the 4th line to get his legs back under him and to focus on the rest of his game. Bring up Senyshn and studnicka for a taste again.

Krejci and DeBrusk both third liners. Oh my god, this board is going f***ing mad.

I am curious who a “legit second line player is” though. Who do you have in mind?

Keep in mind, DeBrusk is tied in goals with names like Seguin, Skinner, Gaudreau. 103rd in the league which if my math is correct (6 forwards x 31 teams) puts him as a...second line player..

If HF owned a swimming pool, a lot of posters would spend their time moving water from one end to the other just cause they were bored.

Krejci's scoring at the same rate he always has. This is getting absurd

I've asked this question a few times in the trade thread and 99.9% of people skip it because they can't give an answer.

still waiting for his next burner account at HF

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Like to see some production 5 on 5 on line 2, biggest white elephant on the team. Better yet split Jake and Krech up, rare to see any chemistry between them anymore. Oil and water those two, one drives the net with blinders, the other looks to make passes for guys to one time a shot after slowly bringing in the zone. Jake uses his speed and is useless when he stops on the blue line. Just not getting the best of either of them when together. Like to see Jake with Coyle as they can play a give and go game and Bjork can keep up to Jake.

i would disagree. i feel like krejci is a ghost in most games.. and im sick of the mantra of getting him a rw. if you are a legit nhl second line center then starting making your linemates better..
