BREAKING: First Round Pick Of The Boston Bruins Confirm The Departure From The Team….
In a significant roster update, the Boston Bruins have announced the departure of former first-round draft pick Jake DeBrusk. DeBrusk, selected 14th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, has been a key contributor to the Bruins’ offense over the past seven seasons. He has now signed a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with the Vancouver Canucks, officially ending his tenure in Boston.
During his time with the Bruins, DeBrusk played in 465 games, recording 138 goals and 128 assists for a total of 266 points. He reached the 20-goal mark three times, with his 71 goals over the last three seasons ranking third on the team, trailing only David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand. Despite periods of inconsistency and goal-scoring droughts, DeBrusk developed into a versatile player, contributing defensively and becoming a reliable penalty killer in recent seasons.
Reflecting on his departure, DeBrusk acknowledged the emotional aspect of leaving Boston, stating that it was “definitely weird being back” and expressing gratitude for his time with the Bruins and the relationships he built during his tenure.
The Bruins now face the challenge of filling the offensive void left by DeBrusk’s departure as they look to maintain their competitive edge in the upcoming season.
