Boston Bruins debut a new second line: Jake DeBrusk replaced
The Boston Bruins have debuted a new second line, and we may now know who will be replacing former Boston Bruins forward Jake DeBrusk this season.
The Boston Bruins took an aggressive approach with Jake DeBrusk in the off-season, but ultimately the two sides could not come to an agreement, as DeBrusk did not like what the Bruins had to offer, and Don Sweeney wasn't willing to offer him anything else.
We aren't sure what the numbers are or the term was, that was offered to DeBrusk, but it was enough for him to go and sign with the Vancouver Canucks during free agency.
DeBrusk signed a 7-year $5.5 million contract. The Vancouver Canucks also signed 2 other Boston Bruins players in Danton Heinen, and Derek Forbort.
The Bruins did not want to go out and sign a top six forward in free agency, or make a trade for one. They made it clear they want to find someone in their organization to replace Jake DeBrusk, and we might of just found out who it is.
During the Bruins morning skate today, the Bruins debuted what could be their new line heading into the season which featured Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, and Fabian Lysell.
Marchand-Coyle-Lysell
Lysell really impressed the Boston Bruins during their last game against the Washington Capitals, and he is now being rewarded by taking the open spot on the second line right wing with captain Brad Marchand, and Charlie Coyle.
There was a lot of hype surrounding Fabian Lysell coming into this camp, and he has a legitimate chance to make the roster, but it's not going to be handed to him.
