Bruins Forward Linked To A Metropolitan Team
The New York Islanders are actively exploring trade options to strengthen their roster for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
One player they are eyeing is Jake DeBrusk from the Boston Bruins, a skilled winger who could immediately boost their offense.
The potential retirement of Patrice Bergeron has made the Bruins interested in acquiring Jean-Gabriel Pageau, a reliable two-way center, creating a potential match for a DeBrusk-Pageau trade.
DeBrusk's impressive goal-scoring record of 27 and 25 goals in the past two seasons makes him an attractive choice for the Islanders.
While he will become an unrestricted free agent next summer, acquiring him would address the Islanders' need for more scoring and provide salary cap flexibility.
Additionally, this trade could pave the way for the Islanders to sign promising young forward Oliver Wahlstrom to a contract extension, ensuring long-term roster stability.
Islanders fans are optimistic that General Manager Lou Lamoriello can orchestrate a deal to strengthen the team's chances of success in the upcoming season, bolstering their offense and considering their salary cap plans.
