Kid is a stud, 200 foot player. Letting him walk is just dumb, but then again they way he is treated here Id say fu Boston and go cash in.

Player Discussion Jake DeBrusk VIII

- Start date
I thought he was easily the best Bruins player on the defensive side of things last night. I dont care if he's not scoring if he's gonna contribute like that. That effort will pay off eventually. It has to
His last two primary assists were nice passes.
He's playing his best hockey when the team needs it the most. Good on Jake and I hope he keeps it up!
Not sure how, but I forgot that Geekie goal was his play.

I would like most of the people in this thread to eat some crow.

I don’t think anyone needs to eat crow…
Debrusk has deserved his share of criticism this year. I don’t think any poster here doesn’t want to resign Debrusk because he doesn’t have skill, speed, finish, etc.
It’s because he doesn’t show this type of game consistently and matter of fact, I still think it’s a valid concern.

He has under achieved this season. He is more a no show than stepping up.
Your post is fitting to your username
He can be our Michael Ryder. If he shows up in the playoffs when it matters the most, he's worth it.
And he's always shown up in the playoffs
Jake is IMO the most steady upfront in this PO run. Plays well, poised and intelligent game

Not my fault that everyone on here decided he was the rightful guy that needed to be run out of town.

I can see how regular season games can lack consistency.
Do you go into work every day, full of enthusiasm and work super hard, or is it a lot of going through the motions ? I'm sure you think you would if you got paid 4 million to do your job, and you might for a while, but eventually your enthusiasm would wane.

Maybe he can get a lacerated spleen before each season. LTIR him.
How many spleens does one have?

I still let him walk.
Yeah he's played really good hockey in the playoffs, but it just proves that his regular season issues are due to a lack of effort. Sorry not sorry, I'll pass on giving $5-$7 million a year to a guy that plays when he wants to

If we can get him at 6m-ish mid/long term I do it. He’s still young and it will be at least market value for the entirety of the deal.
If we don’t re sign him, likely we go out and sign a much lesser player for the same, or more cost. He’s inconsistent but he can play on either top 6 line, kill penalties, and is well liked by the team. A lot can go wrong and I wouldn’t sweat minor overpayment with him, especially with the cap going up.

For the most part, I think he's had a very, very good playoff performance so far. The point totals and the eye test both indicate that IMO.
So tough to determine the market value for a guy like that. His skill level is beyond what he's shown his production can be over a season's worth of games. No matter how he performs over the course of a given year, he'll always feel like a guy capable of putting up 70 points the following season.
I think a lot of his success this playoff season stems from knowing his proper balance of physical play versus goal scoring. In year's past, we've seen him throw his body around like an animal and just go pedal to the metal for a couple games before he seemingly gets beats up and disappears. This year, the physicality feels like it shows up in spurts each game. As does the speed and skill. Like he's figured out the most efficient way to use his skillset rather than all or nothing.

I am on now on the keep Jake bus so long as it's not a stupid overpay. He is a playoff guy, and you need them. If he mails it in sometimes during the regular season, so be it. The Bruins have made the PO's every year since Jake has been there, so clearly he is not indispensible to regular season success.

And yet he is -4, tied with Beecher for worst on the team.
Still, on this roster, he's one of only a couple forwards that can make big plays.

Jake's playoff numbers:
85 games 27-19-46 -15
7 playoffs, a plus player only once.
I'm still thinking Jake will move back to western Canada no matter the money.
.5 ppg for a second line guy is fine by me and his effort has been there consistently. The +/-, well, the Bruins have hardly ripped it up in the playoffs outside of the 19 run since he's been on the team and it's such a funky stat anyway. You could be right and he's gone. I'd have him back at the 5-5.5 that's been tossed around, but if he goes, I won't cry about it, but he's worth keeping at the right price.
Its a concern on a bubble team or Ottawa type team, not Boston. Very unlikely they miss the PO. So jyst deal with RS #74. PO74 is worth 6\6.

Like that he is versatile, can play either wing. But I always felt he's much better on the left side. Not really a big issue with me if he stays or if he goes. Trust the GM to make the right call.

I`d like Jake to sign on here, Jake Guentzel that is

Likely gonna cost 3-4 million more a year if they want to do that. And he will have his choice of offers with there being no natural advantage for Boston other than maybe offering the most money
