Top Boston Forward Opens Up on Future with the Bruins
The Bruins were forced to make significant lineup modifications following the retirements of David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron. Now, a new era is starting in Boston and players need to step up to the occasion to make a name for themselves.

The veteran Bruin is optimistic that negotiations between his agent and the team will conclude favorably before he enters free agency next year.
On the Verge of a Breakout
Last season, the 26-year-old tallied 27 goals and 50 points across 64 games, equaling his personal best in goals and setting a new career-high in points.
For the current season, DeBrusk is aiming to maintain his health and expects to deliver an even more impressive performance.
"Last year when I got injured in the Winter Classic. I was just really starting to come into my game, so it made me a little bit angry because I thought I was going to go on kind of a heater there, which probably would have ended up being 30 or 35 [goals]." DeBrusk said "If I stay healthy, I think I can score 30 this season."
Do you think Debrusk will reach his goal?
