DeBrusk getting an extension from Sweeney or not ? Sweeney wants to keep Jake, Jake's agent wants more money & term or both, maybe there's a compromise.

DeBrusk getting an extension from Sweeney or not ? One thing is for sure, if the Bruins are one and done in the playoffs and JDB walks for nothing in the offseason, DS has some splainin to do.

I believe it's a matter of compromise, Jakes agent wants more and Sweeney wants him to come down. I think the B's want to keep DeBrusk, whether i agree with that is up for debate, sometimes i love his game and other times i don't.

If the Bruins are one and done in the playoffs and JDB walks in the offseason, would it not have been prudent to sell him off at the deadline even if it is just for a second rounder? And if JDB really were worth something would GMs have not been falling over themselves to get him in any case?

It's the old Loui Eriksson conundrum again in a way, except the B's are firmly in a playoff spot and not fighting to get in. In all honesty i would have been good either way, trade him or not, but i can see why they kept him. If a team had called Sweeney and offered a deal he couldn't refuse then i'm pretty sure Donnie would have accepted, obviously that didn't happen and a 2nd rounder wouldn't cut it. I think Sweeney thought trading Jake away for a 2nd rounder would weaken the team and do a disservice to the players still there. If the Jake that played against TO in their last two meetings shows up every night then it was the right move imo. There is also the fact that the b's could still sign him, if he walks well it's been a slice, Fabian Lysell c'mon down!

In my view the Bs do have a chance to win the Cup, albeit small.* Jake's season can be matched by other UFAs this summer. No? If Vancouver did not give up so much to Elias Lindhom, it is my belief he would be there. Jake very well could be a great player in the playoffs. He actually should stay in Boston if he wants a solid career otherwise he will be obscured from the limelight.

Jake looked great against the LeRfs and if he plays that way in the playoffs he will help immensely. He also plays both special teams units so trading him opens up a couple holes.

Inasmuch as I’m unwilling to throw a boatload of Jeremy’s hard-earned mula at Jakey, I think he could still be a difference maker in this year’s playoffs…. Pretty sure teams were asking on Jakey but not offering much…. Even if he’s scored 25+ a few times, a pending UFA with only a handful of goals to show sticks out like a sore thumb…. Even if Jakey walks for nothing, it’s better that you cut your losses and look elsewhere….

Root Beer has a chance to build his own contract with a great playoffs...he can turn up his game and everyone including Sweeney can go, "see, he helped us win." or he can go into the tank and his next contract will be not very good and he won't be a B or he comes back to B's on a bargain contract...it's in the Float's boat so to speak. He performs and he becomes everyone's darling so I'm hoping he rises to the occasion. *hoping*

His career 36 points in 71 career playoff games and a lovely -11 shows what he is in the regular season is what he is come playoffs. We all know what he is by now.

The point was "if they end up being one and done" was it worth it to lose him for nothing in the offseason if he walks. We will find out in a few months

I'd have ditched him long ago for whatever he can bring, and who knows what else could have been done with the extra cap space. Someone suggested it may be a DS 2015 pride thing... But I say ditch every aspect of that 1st round clusterfuck and try to bury it as deep as you can.
