Rumor: Leafs interested in Debrusk.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This comes from TFP, they have an article up about the futures of Ullmark and Debrusk, and in that article they mention the Leafs will be among the teams pursuing Debrusk.

It makes a lot of sense if Bertuzzi leaves, Debrusk would be a quality replacement, he seems like the kind of player that would fit a Berube style team.

Louie would make a great broadcaster for the Leafs but I thought he had a national gig with Sportsnet.

National gig with sportsnet, Leafs homer same thing

 

[Scintillating10]

Habs probably make big bid on him also

Lots of teams will be interested in Jake.

Lots of teams will be interested in Jake.

And everyone has him pegged as like a 5 million dollar guy on cap friendly. They are in for a rude awakening. If a 5x5 deal would get it done, it would have already been signed.

 

[Internazionale]

Leafs will be interested in everyone this summer.

 

[hurdemz]

Would it take something like a 7x7 to get him?
More?
Less?

 

[BKarchitect]

He's a real solid player - I definitely think he'd be a good fit for the Leafs. And many other teams.

Better option that Bertuzzi or do the Leafs think Bertuzzi will be too much?

 

[BostonBob]

Leafs will be interested in everyone this summer.

So just another normal summer for Toronto.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Treliving is always interested in everyone.

DeBrusk will make more than Bertuzzi.

 

[SML2]

I would be so mad if I were DeBrusk and they traded me to the Leafs. It would be like getting traded from the Football team to the Chess club. Then you gotta give up your lunch money to all your old boys every year? Awkward. Anywhere but Toronto.

 

[Beerz]

TFP gotz ALL the rumors

I laugh so much at people who think this. When you mean Leafs homer do you mean they discuss the Leafs too much? Or do you actually believe they are biased in favour of the Leafs? If you mean the first thign then sure.. but thats not what a homer is. If you're referring to the second thing there.. that's just simply not true lol. They shit on the Leafs 24/7 and actively try to hype the other team up, even in regional leaf game broadcasts.

Why?

If Boston doesn’t believe they’ll be able to resign Jake DeBrusk before July 1st, then Don Sweeney could always trade his signing rights to another team for a 4th round pick in the upcoming draft.

That's a good thing it means he's doing his job.

lol, this is so wrong, Sportsnet can’t even contain themselves sometimes, they are so leafs giddy.
Hard to see the forest through the trees.

I don't see it. Don't think the bruins and Habs have made a deal in 24 years... and even that was a 3 way deal.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

DeBrusk will make more than Bertuzzi.

They’re both getting 6+ on long term deals. Free agency is going to be stupid this year.

 

[bme44]

I fully expect DeBrusk to remain a Bruin. If he tests the Free agent market he will be heading west

Ah...hes UFA

Pretty much.
