The bruins are just so bad at asset management. It speaks to don sweeney’s failure, a lack of vision between Bruce and don, or most likely, a bit of both. You have almost $10 million worth of players not playing in Moore, Wagner, JDB, and Haula alone.
You knew what you had in Debrusk. Personally I don’t think he’s been that bad this year, especially considering he’s been flanking wet paper bag Haula and a mix match of who’s who at LW. But regardless, if he’s not your guy, trade him. Before multiple benchings completely depleting a once promising young player.
And I know this is a Debrusk thread but same thing with Stud. The kid has nothing left to prove in the minors. We need a second line center now. Staple him next to hall for 20 games for better or worse and figure out what you have. Or decide he’s not your guy and trade him now. Same thing with Vakk. Sheesh. Only problem now is you don’t have the cap room to bring on any significant piece thanks in part to that previously mentioned $10 Mil sitting on the bench or in the minors and our soon to be 3rd string goalie. Rant over

Well well well

 

[DKH]

I would want either picks or bundle with prospects and/or picks for a better player

I move Foligno to 3LW and call up RW audition (Steen Senyshyn Studnicka)

works well

Fine, then DeBrusk can sit in the press box until Sweeney can make the best possible deal. If that means until this season is over, so be it. Somehow I don't think that will go down well with DeBrusk or his agent. Too f***ing bad.

Like @Alicat said, leaking this was a dick move by DeBrusk's agent. He and his client should suffer consequences for it.

Great post

Anyone got any players in mind to swap for DeBrusk to banty about?

Edit: A couple names that come to mind for me are Kailer Yamamoto of Edmonton, Kirby Dach from Chicago, and Tomas Hertl from San Jose.

Would you guys deal him for a 25 year old winger who averages 20 goals a season and has 16 goals in 59 playoff games>

what`s a Jake Debrusk even fetch on the market right now?

 

[mikelvl]

I say play him on the first line in Marchand's absence, drive up that trade value.

Strome and Yamamoto seem like the most likely candidates. Not exactly a fan of either player but that’s how far DeBrusk’s value has dropped.

Great post

Yeah…my favorite part was when he talked about how DeBrusk has been playing with a mix and match of LWs this year.

 

[KrejciMVP]

who is really surprised by this. He was gone anyway. Get an asset and move on, settling scores with Debrusk is ridiculous

If you packaged him with a piece like Jack Ahcan and a pick...I bet they could get a player like Tomas Hertl or Logan Couture from San Jose.

“Getting benched this year fors shit that happened last year is total bullshit and f*** Cassidy if he's too much of a coward to call out Pasta, Smith, Coyle, and Hall, so he uses JDB as an example instead. Jake sucked last year, but he's been one of the better forwards with his consistency in play game to game comparatively. His getting benched after that Rangers game is a joke since he played okay, and plenty of other key players sucked and made far more egregious plays. Plenty of blame pie to go around that game, but it falls on JDB for being the reason they sucked? I mean f***, what free agent signing by Captain Harvard has actually done a thing this year? Well, other than sucked at hockey, that is?”

I can’t argue with that. I thought he was better to start the year…and I agree there are plenty of passengers to yell at…but I also can understand if Cassidy saw the same ol’ Jake bad habits creeping in and was pissed.

I didn’t focus on his shifts, so I couldn’t say. I just wouldn’t be surprised if his motor burned off.

It’s all just so surprising, because he got here being a motor guy…but that definitely has become an issue. Maybe his one contract was good enough?

First you had this



then you had someone asking Jake's agent if he requested a trade.

We positive it was Jake's camp that leaked it? I would assume so since it hurts his value, but maybe the Bruins weren't getting any bites before this anyways? It's not like the Bruins would ever make a player look bad headed out the door I know....

 

[remer]

People saying trade DeBrusk for Kassien, or LeBlanc, just shows how bad some people value talent.
Jake should bring back a good player if Sweeney does his job.
Bruins could add a few extra players in a trade.
Kuhlman, Haula, Smith...etc

We both loved that Arvidsson deal in the summer and would have dealt Jake for that back then. I'm hoping for some picks as well

Couture’s contract alone should bring negative value in any trade unless there’s retention.

 

[neelynugs]

ahhhhhh dealing from a position of weakness. it's called bruins

 

[DKH]

Nope

let’s see what Hall has

we’ve seen DeBrusk in every position possible

let’s move on

He got benched once before he asked for a trade and he was playing like ass before that. Has anyone really been that impressed with him this year? And let’s remember it was Jake that asked for a trade here, despite only missing one game all year.

So you don't have the ability to recognize a slip and figure out what he really meant?

Maybe that's the rub? I know they took pot shots at Seguin for no reason whatsoever (all of which turned out to be false) and it was doubly so for Dougie Hamilton.

Lebanc is just as good as DeBrusk if not better imo. I agree with Kassian I don’t think that would be a good move.
