Right, but...so what? What's better for the team? This isn't about giving either of them a cookie for good behaviour. You have two disappointing RWs one goal apart at 5v5. How do you choose which one gets to go to the chocolate factory? Good rationale for both, I think. You want to increase the value of an asset you need to move, so put him in a position to shine. You also want to get a guy who is likely to be with you for a long time going, so you put him with your best players to challenge him to improve his effort. Both are decent rationales, and frankly, I'd do both over the next three games. Probably start Jake there for the next two, and flip Hall up if the game isn't going the Bruins' way. Put Hall there for the Tbags unless DeBrusk has 5-3-8 and +9 in the two games. And If he gets injured? His value goes from shit to supershit. Also, honestly, Jake adds zero to make the team better. I can't see how removing a floating shitburger from the lineup and letting literally anyone else have more ice time is a bad thing. Keeping popcorn boy on floor 9 benefits the TEAM. The team needs somebody to step up and it sure as shit isn't jakeypoo... He's made that quite clear. So what if his value goes from shit to super shit? Oh no, now he’s only worth a 5th rounder instead of a fourth! I exaggerate because I think the price will be a lot higher than that but…it probably isn’t going down. Conversely, I think Sweeney’s story has to be that he’s a young player who sees his career stalled by playing behind Marchand and Hall. If he was on the top PP regularly and playing 17-18 min a night, he’s have better numbers. There’s background evidence to support that. Like I said above, only a handful of players have produced 0.59 points per game while playing 16 min or less over the last few years and that’s who DeBrusk has been for the majority of his career. His shitty production goes back about 60 games to a full season. That’s it. Lots of calendar but not a ton of games. You’re talking about ditching your second line LW after one bad season worth of games. I mean, let him go, but he is far from the do nothing piece of shit he’s being cast as around here.

I will say it now. Jake goes out and lights the lamp for somebody else, just about a certainty when putting a new colored sweater on. Then I predict the light will dim. No matter how it plays out, this isn't a player that I believe is good for this team - AND - he is not a player I enjoy watching. If he goes to Columbus and plays 2LW, I bet he gets 30 in one of the next three years. I loved watching him for most of his first three seasons. Fearless, straight line player who took huge hits to try to make plays. Scored big goals on sheer will and doggedness. We gave Krejci all sorts of love for making the best of no wings but DeBrusk played with an empty gym bag as the RW on that line for two of the first three years, too. He’s become annoying. He’s sulking and he strikes me as a guy who feels like he was born to this because daddy played. I will be happy to stop hearing about his bad games.

Sorry book- 1000% disagree the mother fucker is/was definitely the fastest skater on the team & I'm gonna throw a big wad of shit into your fan. So, since he's he's only playing 16 minutes! He should have plenty left in the tank to keep the motor running for at least 10 of them. See I'm even being nice & giving the bastard a 6 min of fuck the dog leeway! He's one of the laziest hockey players I've seen IN THE LEAGUE! I watch 100's of games a year, not just the Bruins & he's a lazy fuck! That's why I really don't care who or what late rd pick they get for him! Give them some cap space & use it on somebody worth while! He deserves EVERY FUCKING "He's A POS" that he gets in here! He certainly didn't get his old mans work ethic that's for sure!

Jake DeBrusk could once again hit the 20-30 gl plateau and for his sake i hope he does. What we have to realize, or at least i do, is that Jake won't attain those heights again with the Bruins organization and especially with the Cassidy as coach. I expect Jake to be traded as soon as a suitable deal comes up, from what i've read there are no shortage of takers, good for the B's and good for Jake, done deal.

One name just being floated out there by Elliotte Fried-man is Mason Appleton of the Kraken. he's a C, 6' 2" 195 lbs 25 yrs. He averages 12:30 toi and has worse stats that Jake. I have no idea what his ceiling would be but he fits something the B's need and he's in the right age group, as in not an old guy. Elliotte is likely spitballing but could be something there, maybe the deal could grow to something more.

IF he does hit that plateau, then he's even a bigger POS than he is right now as far as I'm concerned. He's been given more than enough chances to play some consistent hockey. I wouldn't even care if he only scored 20g's & 40pts a season if he was actually putting in the effort! He doesn't. He's the epitome of a "Lollygagger"!

To paraphrase ,he said, "Jake could score 20 gls, thats 1 gl every 4 games, the thing is whats he going to do in the other 3 games? Basically Bruce is saying that if he doesn't score he does alot of nothing on alot of nights, i'd have to agree and i've always liked Jake.

For over two hundred, he was a kid who forced turnover with his speed and could make a play to create a goal without someone having to feed him like Taylor Hall seems to. I don’t know what happened to him but concussion and CoViD are part of it. I am not saying this because they should keep him. Again, called it months ago that he will want out whether because he’s underperforming and uncomfortable or because he’s playing well but can’t knock Hall or Marchand out of the top two lines. But he has more value than people who just want to get rid of him think.

Thats why i was thinking if there was another guy added by both teams we might have something.

So- who is available that the B's could bring in that's close to the 3.6 of Jake Debust? I'm just spitballing, so don't get your panties in a twist. Looking at players who are close to age, can play C/LW & salary. Also, I'm not necessarily going for a one to one swap either. Maybe the other team will have to add a little more, or maybe the B's will have to add a little more. I'm also looking at forwards only. Connor Brown- 10 pts in 15 games, Kaspri K- 14pts in 21 games, Jesper Bratt- 17pts in 19 games Pavel Zacha- 12pts in 19 games Tomas Hertl- 13 pts in 21 games, the Sharks maybe willing since he's UFA, but he'd be a hellva 2C that could accommodate Hall nicely- HEY I'm allowed to dream Lawson Crouse- 10 pts in 22 games 6' 4" 215? YepAndre Burakovsky- 14pts in 17 games- Just scores goals- need him Brandon Saad- 11 pts in 17 games 8 goals Rickard Rakell- 8pts in 12 games, been on the block since last season Victor Arvidsson- 8 pts in 13 games Adrian Kempe- 12 pts in 20 games Thoughts? Him. Still young at 24.

Fuck him! I'd bring up Studs & Steen. Let Haula & Jake rot in peanut heaven! No to belabour the point, but I would be happy if Haula has played his last game as a Bruin. A swing and a miss, Donnie boy.

It's been a long time coming. Poor management by Sweeney once again as they hang onto players and prospects until they depreciate. Having said that I'm sure there's a few teams that think they're smarter than the Bruins and think the Bruins are not utilizing DeBrusk properly. Can Haula not play LW. Is he stuck at center?
