No. That contract wouldn’t have worked out in Boston for him. He’s too inconsistent and he’s not changing in terms of being a different player. At this point he is who he is. We should have traded him years ago. Stat wise he’s regressed from the past. Very streaky player, glad they moved on from him wish him luck in Vancouver. But that contract the way he’s getting paid. Like he got a contract with the Bruins a few years ago and that ended up looking really bad for a year. It’s just he’s so streaky. I can’t trust him Would’ve never worked in Boston. Better off spending it on Zadorov.
I'm on the other side of the fence as the other comments, and frankly it was his playoff performance this year that did it for me. Agreed that JD was streaky in the regular season, but as a Team the Bruins still got into the post season. Once there he was a force. Included in the same sentences for production as Marchand. I'm afraid the Bs will miss that post season production when/if they get there next season. I also get that any salary, not just $5.5mil, would have made it that much harder in the Swayman negotiations too though. If he stayed someone would have had to go. Tough call. I get why we're here talking about it. Also, I've changed my mind about JD roughly 99 times since May so what do I know. 😂😂
I would have liked Jake to stay. I still credit him with the shake-up of the team post 2019 fail. That was a rough season for Pasta and if Jake didn't speak up I don't know what would have happened with pasta's contract coming up that summer. He just lost his child and was losing his hockey. I was afraid he was going to find a fresh start elsewhere but Jake spoke up. He was playing with a broken hand last season. So we didn't see his best. Yet I'm more than willing to give a chance to the new guys coming in... I hope we don't lose some of our speed and pop Jake provided at times.
Sad to see Jake go. Feels like the end of an era.... Max Jones - "...would allow Frederick to not be the first one to punch people in the face" 😆 That's funny - it is so true -we can't say these things out loud anymore! Was hoping Heinan would stick around. Yes, absolutely the best value contract. This season will be interesting - lots of new Jersey numbers to learn. But we have some new player highlights to keep us entertained over this summer It's been a whirlwind of 48 hours - thanks for putting it all together. Go Bs! 🐻
Good video by the way. I feel like the Bruins are trying to get tougher, adding guys like max jones 6’3, tufte 6’6, viel 6’3, Kastelic 6’4, zadarov 6’6. Some good, heavy additions that will certainly help the team out in terms of physicality. the Bruins did get pushed around by the Panthers a bit, so hopefully that won’t happen again in a playoff series. obviously worry about scoring as well. Hopefully, Lindholm will address that.
I mean, we had to, though, we needed a defenseman as physical as Z, and they prioritized needing a center. It’s just the thing holding us back is the korpisalo contract, the whole idea we had when we got rid of ullmark, was we get a lot of salary cap relief, well we took back their goalie and that has really hurt us in terms of cap space.
I mean, I feel like they could use still a depth defenseman, someone who could be a 7th guy like shattenkirk was. There’s still some out there like Jan Rutta, could get him cheap under 1 million. Also, I think they could use a right wing as well. This team would be set if they had one more right winger. But right now they only have 7 million in space, korpi contract kinda making things difficult just a tiny bit because we could’ve used that space elsewhere. But other than that, I feel like we’re good. I just still feel like we need to address having a right wing.
Just to add one more thing about DeBrusk that not a lot of people mentioned is, when he’s not putting up goals or points and, when he’s in a drought, he is invisible. he has absolutely no physicality to his game no snarl no pushback. I’ve watched him since 2017 and, he’s only had one career fight (which is fine) and he never hits which is fine, but if Jake DeBrusk isn’t putting up goals, if he’s not scoring.. he’s invisible. It’s sad because about three or four years ago, I thought he could be an elite top six player for the Bruins, but it just didn’t work because of his inconsistencies, and I think Jim noticed that, that’s why he was shuffled around the lineup he would bounce up-and-down the lineup constantly he never found a spot in the last year or two permanently. I think it’s best. We let him go. It’s too much money for too long for inconsistency troubles.
I can only assume Boston wasn’t interested in retaining Jake DeBrusk even at $5.5 million which isn’t outrageous. They saw an extremely skilled fast player who disappeared for stretches and when he got physical DeBrusk got hurt. They never wanted DeBrusk, I still want them to try and trade for a scoring winger.
If you don’t think DeBrusk is inconsistent go take a look at the numbers. Contract year last year and he puts up that kind of season 😂 way to boost your value 😂. 7 years at $5.5 mil NO THANK YOU that money can be spent on someone that’s more consistent and don’t disappear for chunks of the season. Brickley even called him out last year. This is a guy that was crying about Cassidy hahaha just wait until he plays for Tocchet he’ll be asking for a trade after 1 season 😂. DeBrusk is soft and doesn’t take well to getting coached hard he turtles up and wants to be traded instead of going out there and showing a coach he can do it.
When Debrusk only signed for 5.5M, it proves how incompetent Sweeney really is. I was expecting Jake to get a minimum 6X6. So for Sweeney to let him go for such a small cap hit for what he brings to the table is idiocrasy. We will have to see if Lindholm can create the same output he had when he was playing with Gaudreau and Tkachuk. So far only Tkachuk has found any success since the three have been split up.
MY GOD HELP VANCOUVER DEBRUSK WAS THE WORST! ALWAYS SKATING AROUND DOING CIRCLES! YEA HE CAN SCORE A GOAL IF HE HAPPENS TO BE IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME BUT SO CAN'T ANYONE ELSE!

Do you wish the Bruins kept Debrusk?

Thank you for the kind words and I hope you’re right
Thank you so much for the kind words
I’m ok with signing or not. Looking at the cap we couldn’t have signed one of the guys we did.
I mean, we had to,
though, we needed a defenseman as physical as Z, and they prioritized needing a center. It’s just the thing holding us back is the korpisalo contract, the whole idea we had when we got rid of ullmark, was we get a lot of salary cap relief, well we took back their goalie and that has really hurt us in terms of cap space.

I think once sign Swayman some other moves happen
im a big JD supporter but give me Z and lindy jr. any day of the week. the bruins defense is huge now.
100% agree. Need to give to get

Good points and I thought he could be more as well.
@@bruinsdiehards good stuff, this channel is going to grow a lot and it already has, keep doing what you do!

Some scoring would help
I do wish
Sry to see Heinen go.
Same
@@bruinsdiehards yep,should have at least signed him-he deserved it with a great year but as always,they wait too long!

What is your definition of inconsistent?
I 100% about the coaching aspect but you already knew that because I said that in my viseo right?
Wtg canucks😊

Who would you trade to fit Debrusk under the cap?

Why are you yelling?
He should have been gone couple years ago
Debust thank god he is gone!!
Lindholm and Zadorov wouldn’t be here if he was still here so I agree
Hey. Don'.
T worry
Jake's mother will stand up for him
Bye ✌️ Jake
