He”s a restricted free agent this offseason, so he’ll be under team control for a while too. The duo of future Hockey Hall of Famers are more than likely at the top of a short list of players that if you polled fans before the season, were the guys the team could least afford to lose for extended stretches of the 2018-19 campaign. What more can you say about Bergeron that hasn’t been covered already? Suter had been playing on loan to the GCK Lions of the second tier Swiss League where he had two goals and five points in six outings. He should have been a long-tenured NHL defenseman, but it didn’t happen for him, and unfortunately, he’s more of a footnote in Bruins lore, which is unfortunate. All rights reserved. He also assisted on another Bruins goal in the game, joining fellow Bruins rookie defenseman Charlie McAvoy in garnering two points each, in each skater's first regular-season NHL game.[7]. The Athletic’s Fluto Shinzawa (subscription required) writes the Boston Bruins are likely going to have a challenging time finding a new contract with restricted free agent Jake Debrusk. Thanks to the requests of multiple blog readers, the 3 Amigos decided to reunite in the offseason and last night, the boys did a solid 70+ minutes worth of hockey talk focusing on the Boston Bruins. He just turned 40 in July, which, given the shaggy, golden-locked kid who showed up in Boston 22 years ago at not quite 18, seems impossible to square with the grizzled graybeard who has been with the San Jose Sharks for nearly a decade and a half.

He and Draisaitl played youth hockey together and for the German national team at various levels. So it’s easy to see DeBrusk playing a significant role, given his past success on the man advantage. And yet, as the Thanksgiving weekend comes to a close, the B’s pulled out two close wins, a 2-1 OT contest against the underachieving Pittsburgh Penguins at home on Friday and then Saturday night’s 3-2 victory over the Montreal Canadiens, helping Boston secure the sixth-best record in the NHL to date. He was a Boston Bruins’ first-round pick at the 2015 Draft and has turned into a reliable scorer in his three NHL seasons. That ranks 25th in the league among all forwards and is better than names such as Taylor Hall, Alex DeBrincat, and John Tavares. Kurtis Gabriel has signed a one-year contract with the San Jose Sharks, per agent Dan Milstein. https://scoutingpost.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/scouting-post-podcast-bruins-pro-prospects-jan-2017.mp3. HM: Gord Kluzak, 1982: Oh what could have been? Lundqvist is also capable of seeing his faire share of starts, and could rebound after struggling the last two seasons, but Samsonov is the team's netminder of the future and the present. Boston probably needs a temporary bridge in net this year and maybe next if they end up moving on from Rask, but Swayman is a player who should be closely watched going forward, along with dark horse prospect Kyle Keyser. He was drafted 14th overall by the Bruins in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. DeBrusk is the son of colour commentator and former NHL forward Louie DeBrusk
