DeBrusk penned a seven-year, $38.5 million contract with Vancouver on Monday.
DeBrusk appears to be the consolation prize for the Canucks after they missed out on Jake Guentzel, who the team was heavily linked to before he signed with Tampa Bay. The 27-year-old DeBrusk came just one goal shy of reaching the 20-goal threshold for the third straight season, posting 19 goals and 21 helpers over 80 regular-season games in 2023-24. DeBrusk should be in line for a top-six role that will see him playing with either Elias Pettersson or J.T. Miller, either of which should help bolster DeBrusk's offensive output.

Bruins' Jake DeBrusk: Picking up pace in last seven games
Rotowire
DeBrusk delivered a goal and an assist in a 6-5 win over the Flyers on Saturday.

Rotowire
DeBrusk provided a pair of power-play assists in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Sabres.
DeBrusk snapped a six-game point drought with his first multi-point game of the season.

Rotowire

Bruins' Jake DeBrusk: First goal of season
Rotowire
DeBrusk got a goal Thursday in a 3-2 shootout win over the Maple Leafs.
It was his first of the season. DeBrusk barrelled into the Leafs' zone with the puck in the second and dished to Brad Marchand in the slot. Ilya Samsonov stoned Marchand, but the puck lay in the slot and DeBrusk buried the rebound. The winger has been in the doghouse this season, especially after being late to a team meeting last month. But DeBrusk is a talented and abrasive forward who put up 50 points in 64 contests last season. Hopefully this snipe gets him on a roll.
