Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk’s value on the NHL trade market continues to soar.

Boston Bruins
Is Nick Foligno finally becoming the player the Boston Bruins thought they were getting when they signed him to a two-year contract that carries a $3.8 million cap hit?
Speaking of Foligno, friend of BHN, Jeff Marek, explained the backstory behind Foligno and Anaheim Ducks forward Sam Carrick fighting again this past Tuesday. According to Marek, Foligno actually challenged the Ducks bench in January before he and Carrick fought then.
After news broke that Jake DeBrusk has not rescinded his trade request, the Boston Bruins winger soared up the TSN NHL Trade Bait list, all the way to No.6.
In case you missed it, DeBrusk’s agent fueled NHL Trade rumors around his client again when he told Pierre LeBrun Tuesday that not only had DeBrusk not pulled his trade request off the table but that he now has permission to let interested teams know that the Bruins will sign an extension with DeBrusk to get a deal done.
San Jose Sharks center Tomas Hertl makes a ton of sense for the Bruins to pursue on the NHL trade market, but is he truly available?

half of the content on this website is about trade rumors. trade rumors that rarely happen, about players that no one really cares that much about. why not speculate about the chances of me and sofia vergara becoming a couple ? i’d be more interested in why the bruins don’t know how to make a safe line change, or why almost every player is terrified of just tying up the puck along the boards to buy some time. why do the Bs defensemen split the difference and not get the man OR the puck ? brain dead writers.
Don’t forget political talking points, too. Remember to wear your mask!
Will do. Except masks aren’t political unless you’re an ignorant GOP sheep.
Noted, but since plenty of people love to talk trade rumors, we’ll keep doing that and pass on you and Sophia. We’re in the biz of making money. Good luck with Sophia though!
Guess you need a Hockey Education?
Writers, fans, and general naysayers need to realize… the B’s are not suddenly realizing production from “…the players they thought they bargained for”. It’s more a matter of finally having a stretch without major injury, steady lines, etc.
Not to mention time wasted on Rask. Poor Swayman had to bite his tongue, suck it up, and let common sense prevail (i.e., the Front Office coming to their senses).
Next to Ullmark Foligno is the biggest bust the bruins have right up there with the Matt Beleskys of the world. Get rid of this guy he does nothing except to get hurt.
