According to the TSN network, the agent for the Alberta winger, Rick Valette, would have met with general manager Don Sweeney to inform him of his client's desire to remain in the capital of Massachusetts.

Last March, DeBrusk signed a two-year deal worth $4 million a year. Several observers had argued that this contract would only serve to facilitate a possible transaction.

Although no causal link has been established between the firing of head coach Bruce Cassidy and DeBrusk's decision, one can guess that the arrival of a new driver in Boston had an impact on his will. to stay in Boston.

Recall that the Bruins recently announced that Montrealer Jim Montgomery would take over the reins of the team next season.

Former first-round pick, 14th overall, in the 2015 draft, DeBrusk has played his entire career with the “Oursons”. He scored 25 goals and had 42 points in 77 games in 2021-22.
