Jake Debrusk was a bit off the board when picked at 14th. However, the pick wasn't totally out of the question. He was the subject of one of our pre-draft profiles. Here's what we said:
DeBrusk plays with a joy and energy that is the kind of thing fans love. He's fast and strong for his size, a very good skater and has a work-rate that's...well, if not unparalleled then at least very rarely matched by his competitors. His game is based on positioning, timing and intelligence with a side order of fearlessness-he'll go wherever is necessary to win the puck and give himself and his team the best chance of putting it in the net.
