It’s good to see DeBrusk return to Boston. He has become a key part of the Bruins top six and once again had a successful season. In 65 games, DeBrusk had 19 goals and 16 assists.

DeBrusk would have done better if he wasn’t as streaky. One thing that he needs to improve on is his consistency.

But DeBrusk is a great asset to David Krejci. He is able to move well in the offensive zone and also possesses some great speed.

At the age of 24, DeBrusk still has plenty of games left to play. Signing him to a bridge deal was a perfect solution.

DeBrusk will get the opportunity to improve as a player. If he is more consistent and shows his skills he will get the payday that he desires.

For the Bruins, this deal allows them more time to make a decision on DeBrusk. They clearly like him as a player, but they don’t know if they want to commit to a long term deal.

Also, Boston doesn’t have to rely on their first line to do all the scoring. If the second line is able to supplement the top line, the Bruins should have a successful season.

But Bruins fans will be very happy to see DeBrusk return next season. He is one of the most beloved players on the roster. Now we just have to wait and see what happens with Zdeno Chara.
