The 3 PM Trade Deadline has come and gone, and while there are surely deals left in the queue, a move away for Jake DeBrusk apparently isn’t one of them:
RIP DeBrusk Trade Saga, December 2021 - March 2022 (to be revived this summer).
We’ll have to wait and see if Don Sweeney addresses this move (or lack thereof) at his press conference later today — did he simply not find a suitable offer? Did DeBrusk agree to stay until the offseason and figure it out then?
Time will tell.
It certainly seemed a few hours ago like the contract extension was the precursor to a trade, but have DeBrusk on the books for two more seasons also makes him more “tradeable” this off-season.
