3. Jake DeBrusk

Jake DeBrusk had a phenomenal rookie season. He evolved into one of the Bruins top scorers and showed that he is an amazing goal scorer.

DeBrusk racked up 16 goals and 27 assists in his rookie year. He was a key member of the Bruins second line.

Now even though he is a great scorer, DeBrusk is also great in his own zone. He doesn’t shy away from contact and fights in the corners for loose pucks. With that style of play Bruins fans grew to like DeBrusk almost immediately.

Next season will be an important one for DeBrusk. He needs to prove that he can maintain and build off of his success last season. The Bruins will rely on DeBrusk to keep up his scoring ways. Hopefully he won’t disappoint.

It is an exciting time to be a Bruins fan. There a ton of young players who possess great talent. Even with all the talent in the Eastern Conference, the Bruins should be contenders for the foreseeable future.
