The Story in 60 Seconds

Bleacher Report's Adam Gretz has linked former Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk to five potential trade landing spots, including Atlantic Division rivals the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators. DeBrusk, who joined the Vancouver Canucks as a free agent following the 2023-24 season, has increasingly become the subject of trade speculation amid Vancouver's expected roster retooling.

Causeway Crowd writer Scott Roche argues that seeing DeBrusk traded to Montreal or Ottawa would be a worst-case scenario for Boston, as both clubs directly compete with the Bruins for playoff contention. The other landing spots listed by Gretz include the Edmonton Oilers, Los Angeles Kings, and Minnesota Wild, while a return to Boston has been ruled out.
