West Champ Oilers Add Skinner With One-year Deal
Jake DeBrusk's run with the Boston Bruins is over, as he signed a free agent deal with the Vancouver Canucks.
DeBrusk, 27, signed a seven-year deal with an average annual value of $5.5 million against the salary cap.
DeBrusk played all seven years of his NHL career with the Bruins, with 266 points in 465 career games. He was selected 14th overall in 2015 by Boston. But the winger's status had been tenuous with the Bruins for the past few seasons, as his name hit the trade rumor mill annually. He asked for a trade in 2022 but later rescinded that request.
The winger had 19 goals and 21 assists in 80 games last season. He just closed a quick two-year deal with Boston that carried a $4 million salary cap hit.
The Canucks needed to bolster their left side heading into free agency. Jake Guentzel was on their radar, but he was scooped up by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
