Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston: Jake DeBrusk saw what the future may hold for him as far as his next contract (likely next summer). The eventual restricted free agent sees other comparables as well. Brock Boeser and Travis Konecny are the two most looked at forwards but Konecny is the closest comparison. Konecny recently was signed to a six-year, $5.5 million AAV deal to stay in Philadelphia.
“Obviously that’s going to be my situation . Hopefully not , but maybe, possibly next year just looking around the league you see different things with guys dragging it out,” said DeBrusk, who will be joined by Brett Ritchie and Matt Grzelcyk as next summer’s restricted free agents for the Bruins.
