Jake DeBrusk is looking at a hefty pay raise next summer.
The 26-year-old winger elevated his stock following a breakout season for the Bruins in 2022. Over an 82-game pace last season, DeBrusk was projected to score 35 goals and post 64 points — a new benchmark in scoring that was thwarted due to a broken fibula suffered during the 2023 Winter Classic.
Add in a blossoming defensive game and increased reps on both the power play and penalty kill, and the top-six stalwart will inevitably command a salary beyond the $4 million he’s expected to earn this year in Boston.
