Boston Bruins winger Jake DeBrusk's impending contract situation has sparked fervent debates among fans.

With one year left on his $4 million cap-hit deal, two discussions are in focus. Some advocate for an early signing before a specific date to avoid losing him for nothing, while others suggest a trade if DeBrusk's annual average value (AAV) reaches a certain figure.

As the team faces a transition year, they aim to balance competitiveness with a looming salary cap increase in 2024.

The timing is crucial, as DeBrusk became eligible to extend his contract from July 1, 2023. The Bruins will likely attempt to secure his services before free agency or during the season.

However, if no deal is reached by the trade deadline, a tough decision on trading him may arise. Evaluating DeBrusk's value remains pivotal, considering performance and cap percentages compared to star player Brad Marchand.

The Bruins' management faces critical choices about DeBrusk's future in the team's core lineup.
