«It's been a crazy process, obviously, free agency and going through it for the first time,» DeBrusk explained of his decision. «But in saying that, in terms of obviously being in Vancouver, they were very aggressive. I knew I had a really good feeling about them. We were talking and things of that nature and things were looking like they were going to hopefully go in the right direction.
«It's funny, I woke up pretty early today and felt like a pretty normal day and then as soon as I kind of got the confirmation that I was coming here, I've been overwhelmed throughout the whole day. It's been really exciting and it's something I just can't wait to get to the city and I can't wait to get started. I feel very lucky and honored to become a Vancouver Canuck.»
