Another side note, if you think about it, this is kind of part of the Lindholm, Kuzmenko trade. As the Canucks paid that price for Lindholm, as well as to free up 5.5 million in cap. This is what the team chose to use that cap on. If it works out, that trade will look much better in the coming years.
Pretenders not real contenders Lindholm was their second best centre and Zadorov their most physical presence 2 big loses Top 6 is a joke, only have 2 top 4 D… New Jim same Jimbo moves
As a Bruins fan, I never quite warmed up to him, especially after witnessing some frustrating moments like temper tantrums and a seeming lack of motivation on and off the ice. However, I can't deny his talent and the contributions he made to B's during his time here. Hopefully, this change of scenery will be a positive for him and the new fans will appreciate what he brings to the table. Plus, he will be closer to his family! Wishing him and Nucks' all the best!
Great video ! Well done ! Love the quiet demeaner and business-like approach of Canucks mgmnt. Regardelss of exactly who each new signe up is I believe the system, coach and management plan, will overcome the doubters and naysayers.
I’m with you on this!!! I don’t know why so many fans in this fanbase are so pessimistic about everything, especially without ever looking at the data or facts.
LOL as a bruins fan I'll tell you.... A) you did not add toughness. B) this guy disappears for large stretches every year C) comparing him to burroughs is something only a person would say that has never seen Jake play (tis sheer folly...you will learn to hate him for large stretches of the season & love him about 15% of the time) D) If he doesn't get put on the line he wants with the line mates he wants be prepared to see him ask for a trade, the kid is a big baby. Thanx for signing him, the fans, his team mates & organization frankly just got sick of wondering which JD we would get each & every game, no heart.
To say you aren't going to pay a guy 5.5 to play on your third line is old thinking. That's becoming more and more the norm and DeBrusk no matter where you play him produces like a 3rd liner. He'll score you 20ish goals he'll get your 40-50 points. He's also learned in the last couple of years how to play defensive hockey. He's a good back checker and he'll be one of your better penalty killing wingers. If that all sounds like a 3rd liner to you congrats. He's a third liner who's been over slotted the last few years because of lack of better options. And that's fine for Boston they play a unique scheme where it's more about defense and possession anyhow. Jakes got speed to burn and maybe with the right center his production will elevate. But I wouldn't expect it to be much. He's played with David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron and only had limited success. His ceiling is 30 goals 60 points and I'm not sure he'll ever reach it. I'll also tell you "Drives possession" isn't true of DeBrusk. He doesn't keep the puck in the offensive zone effectively at all. He's not a great cycle player, he isn't great at winning board battles. He's good at carrying to puck with speed in a straight line. Put an obstacle in his path? Slows way down. He's not shifty at all he's a straight line player. He can help you with stretching the zone for sure. If you want to run fly plays to get quick zone exits he can do that for you.
It is said that JDB disappears for large stretches of the season. That is only true if, as the commenter, you go blind for large stretches of said season. Jake is ALWAYS contributing; he is always where he should be, offensively and defensively. When he’s not making it onto the scoring sheet it’s because he’s he’s not getting puck luck and you will be falling off the edge of your seat screaming “SO F*#%ING CLOSE!!!” Jake is a gamer- he is always working to be in the right spot and get the best outcome. He is not a tough guy or a rat or a pest, but he gets under the opponents skin because he’s always creating high danger chances and he’s always in the way of their efforts to do the same. Any talk of him pouting and not staying in the game comes from when he was eating a steady stream of s#!t from Bruce Cassidy (the man who drove David Krejci out of the NHL and back to Czechia for a season and would only come back b/c Cassidy was fired. I’m NOT saying Cassidy is a bad guy a la Mike Babcock, I am saying his voice has a limited shelf life in a given room). You are also going to love watching Heinen- he’s the most unassuming looking guy but he goes into the boards and comes out with the puck EVERY TIME! And if Forbort is finally healthy, you will have gotten a strong stay at home D-man who is a dedicated shot blocker and a pillar of the PK. I will miss these guys on my B’s squad but I’ve always been a ‘Nucks fan too and these signings will get me that much more invested. Best of luck for a special ‘24-‘25 season!
Thanks for the thoughtful and insightful comment! I’m excited to see what DeBrusk can do alongside elite offensive centers like Pettersson and Miller. Tocchet will hold him accountable, but is a coaches player so I don’t foresee any issues between him and DeBrusk. A change of scenery could really help DeBrusk come out the gates. As for Forbort, I believe the organization has communicated exactly what they expect out of him, a solid, steady presence in the bottom pairing. If he stays healthy, I’m excited to see him with DeSharnais.
Mikheyev 2.0 streaky speedy winger exactly what we were sold on Mikheyev put some respect on Burrows name Debrusk is a quarter of the player Burrows was
Ilya mikheyev was no where near 30 goals on the maple leafs... Keep in mind debrusk still almost got 20 goals this year playing in a bruins heavily defensive team with pavel zacha and charlie coyle as center... No offense to zacha but he is no where near the skill of elias pettersson
@dominickhawke9379 actually we didn't look at his face offs percentage when he was with us only reason we won round 1 and pushed game 7 of round 2 is cause Lindy was winning Faceoffs moving the puck and being a menace on the forecheck really pushed us in the playoffs
"he can bury the puck". Huh? Burrows had one plus 30 goal season with 35. I'm sure that is no where near burying the puck. LMAO. You are expecting an average 40 point, 20 goal scorer to be a 1st or 2nd line player? I guess, that's ok since they tried PDG and Suter there, but they didn't get $5mil and how did they do? LOL. They could of signed proven scorers for just a little more or even less which is really puzzling.
@@seantaylor2683 for an elite athlete and future of the team , do u believe let him play with an injury during regular season is appropriate? Most only tough it out in the playoffs not regular season , so I doubt the story , if it was minor then most athletes experience that , any athletes gets pay that top 1% salary should perform at least like top two lines not third and fourth , one thing is to support athletes and another is to be accountable, agree?
Love that dig against Daddy DeBrusk at the end.

Yes - essentially Kuzmenko for Debrusk (via Lindholm).
naw - the canucks will never get fair coverage. everytime they are in the playoffs that is ABUNDANTLY clear
Pretenders not real contenders
Lindholm was their second best centre and Zadorov their most physical presence
2 big loses
Top 6 is a joke, only have 2 top 4 D…
New Jim same Jimbo moves
“Everytime they are in the playoffs” they’ve been in the playoffs once my guy 😂 Last playoff appearance (2015) was a completely different team
@@JH-jw7puyea i mean his comment still stands lol
Canuck fans are absolutely terrible, worst fans in sports.
@@vdac1068our top 4 is better then ur top 6 and drai is wanting to leave edm worry about that

Temper tantrums? Hahaha 😅
Was it some locker room spats?
I happy he gone n got Lindholm, GO BRUINS, remembering game 7 2011 , being from Vancouver I was there
@@user-mv3vu7bu6pu weren’t in Canada for 2011 ur English fucking sucks
Love this vid. Totally agree! Well done.
Thanks!
Great video !
Well done ! Love the quiet demeaner and business-like approach of Canucks mgmnt.
Regardelss of exactly who each new signe up is
I believe the system, coach and management plan, will overcome the doubters and naysayers.
Thanks!
I agree with your point on management, they are excellent pro scouts.
Next level, bud. Your content is of the highest quality.
I love these. Finally someone tells me whats going on here
I’m with you on this!!! I don’t know why so many fans in this fanbase are so pessimistic about everything, especially without ever looking at the data or facts.
Which isnt bad, the team tends to do better when fans are pessimistic
All Tocchet type signings today! The terms on all the signings we (may) have missed out on were ridiculous..
Chris Tanev for 6 years, LOL, He'll be a leaf until he's 40.
Good vid dude. Some people in your chat are insane.
Tell me about it!
And just desharnais
Debrusk is no Burrows Debrusk has better skills but hes not a pest like Burrows
LOL as a bruins fan I'll tell you.... A) you did not add toughness. B) this guy disappears for large stretches every year C) comparing him to burroughs is something only a person would say that has never seen Jake play (tis sheer folly...you will learn to hate him for large stretches of the season & love him about 15% of the time) D) If he doesn't get put on the line he wants with the line mates he wants be prepared to see him ask for a trade, the kid is a big baby. Thanx for signing him, the fans, his team mates & organization frankly just got sick of wondering which JD we would get each & every game, no heart.
lol Debrusk was one of the best players in the playoffs for the bruins, he shows up when it counts
Burrows was a nobody until he got put on a line with real talent.
Want some cheese?
still better than mikheyev
@@numberyiTo be fair a bag of stale potato chips is better than Mikheyev.
HONESTLY, J.B would be better with Miller & Boeser on the top line. Petty and Big Hög need another swede to play with.
Also Derek Forbert
Should have signed Duclair for 3.5 mill AAV 4 years. love the vids❤

They want DeBrusk for the playoffs. End of story.
Added Some Toughness To The Team
They can have him !!!!
You can have a 15 goal a year scorer for 7 million

Canucks sure love American players. Not a fan of this strategy.
the fuck is this supposed to mean
What happened to the Necas and Hronek talks?
Hronek re-signed w/Van a while ago already
Probably all fan related and was never even a thing, PA and JR keep a closed circle.
Mikheyev 2.0 streaky speedy winger exactly what we were sold on Mikheyev put some respect on Burrows name Debrusk is a quarter of the player Burrows was

From a Boston fan...calm down, DeBrusk is garbage...just watch! There is a reason Boston let him walk
Very true Canucks will regert this in the future watch.
Burrows 2.0? So you mean DeBrusk is going to start biting people?
Only if he's hungry
Yeah this will backfire on Vancouver badly 7 years for him really no wonder the Canucks never win with moves like this.
So happy he gone n got Lindholm instead rot in Vancouver under achiever
Debrusk > Lindholm

@@HolyLegendz LMAO. Great comback.
Petterson is $ 11.6 man playing on 4th line , and doesn’t show up in playoffs
He only played half the season last year , he was gone after all star break , I wonder his heart left when Kuz left to Calgary
@@mastersmmaandfitness7661 he was apparently playing with a bad knee from January onward

Peterson is overpriced :(
Not sure who you are so i have subscribed i will find out. But that all being said i do like what you are saying, it seems you have some intelligence.
shoulda sold petterson and ate it. NO ONE who is invisible in the playoffs deserves to be on the team. He's dead weight.
good so tired of all the bs about guentzel ...good snag
