Jake DeBrusk has signed a new contract with the Boston Bruins.

Solid

Hopefully this will spark a new wave of signings and give us something to talk about.

Good signing imo. DeBrusk still has room to grow.

Solid value

Pretty good. Tad more than I expected for a two year deal.

Good. Now this will put an end to the silly Jake De Brusk ACGM trades.

No it won't lol

Finally some semi-big news. It's been an entire month with very little to talk about

I would've liked to see that aav be for a 3yr deal but it's still a good number for 2 ig. 3mil cap space now. Are they out of the running for hoffman?

Unless DeBrusk is traded, yes. Top4 LHD is now the priority.

I mean two years is short but for under 4 that’s very fair for a player like debrusk who still has room to grow and has already shown a lot of potential

if both BOS and PIT start slow...I see a DeBrusk for Pettersson rumour reigniting....

I mean, that's not a real rumour. Does PIT even want to move Pettersson?

About as much as everyone expected. Solid deal overall, could very well be a steal of a contract if he performs well

I dont understand why he signed so low.
Good on the Bruins.

I would play the kids and see what they got, then if need be trade for one at the tdl

I was so close, I had him at 2yr/$3.4 million deal.

Very solid signing for both parties. VALUE signing in these dumb times.

He didn't really have much leverage. Other RFAs such as Hintz, Gurianov, Virtanen, Brown, Kubalik, McCann signed in the similar range so it was likely he gets $3-4M for 2-3Y. He also had a down year and needs more consistency in his game.

I love making Bruins ACGMs and being almost spot on with the DeBrusk and Grz contracts and hearing how off I am from their fans on here lol

I'd say you're the 2nd biggest know-it-all on here after that one Red Wings fan that no one likes.

Hopefully you learned a lesson about how unpredictable contract signings can be. You were incredibly wrong about DeBrusk and Grz. How many times did you comment on my Bruins ACGMs about me signing those guys around 3.75? Even after I had to explain to you that Bruins players usually take team friendly deals... All the more reason to take your comments with a grain of salt.

You signed DeBrusk for 5 years at $3.75M.
You signed Grzelcyk for 5 years at $3M.

I said "Not enough money for that term for both DeBrusk and Grzelcyk. "

DeBrusk got $3.675M for 2 years. That's for TWO years. That's $75K difference from what you got but you had 3 more years. He would definitely get more than $3.75M for FIVE years.
Grzelcyk got $3.687.5M for 4 years. You had him for $687.5K less with one more year.

So in both cases, I was right, they would have gotten more for 5Y since they already got this.

I said "DeBrusk would get more $ on a five-year deal, same for Grzelcyk I believe."

Same deal for DeBrusk.

You had $3.5M for 5 years this time for Grzelcyk so $500K more than the other ACGM, same term.
He got $3.687.5M for 4 years. You had him for $187.5K less for one more year. He would have gotten more for that year.

I said "Not enough for Grzelcyk and for DeBrusk."

You signed DeBrusk for 5 years at $4M cap hit and Grzelcyk for 4 years at $3.75M.

The Grzelcyk one was close indeed. DeBrusk, he signed for $325K less for 3 years less. He would have gotten more than $4M for 5 years.



I didn't say anything on this one about Grzelcyk/DeBrusk https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/321129
Didn't comment on this one https://www.capfriendly.com/forums/thread/320062


You were close sometimes for the $ but it all depends on the term. A player signing for 2-3 years isn't getting the same money on a 5-6Y deal. So no " Hopefully you learned a lesson about how unpredictable contract signings can be. You were incredibly wrong about DeBrusk and Grz. " I didn't learn a lesson or was wrong.

DeBrusk overpayment. Where is year 3 >?

So maybe Vatanen on a 1 year deal if he’s willing to take a pay cut? He’d be a perfect fit, other than the way he shoots.
