Vancouver, you’re getting a solid two way player who can kill penalties as well. I’m upset that the Bruins couldn’t at least match that price or do better. They’ve invested all those years developing him why not see it through? It looks like Vancouver did some poaching from the Boston Bruins. Danton Heinen at 2.6? The Bruins had him at the leave minimum last year through a P/T. He earned his money and I’m as equally as shocked that the Bruins let him go as well after the year he had last season for the B’s. I’m guessing that this will be another t player given up on that will come back to night the B’s in the butt! The last of that dreadful “2015” draft is gone. Embarrassing!
Can he be an upgrade on Mikheyev for Pettersson? I mean, I could be an upgrade on Mikheyev, but if him and Pettersson click, then it's a great deal. If not, we got 7 years of Debrusk.
The reason Pettersson slumped was because Pettersson slumped. It's not like a magical winger will unlock him and I'm glad that wasn't the Canucks' approach. I'm not convinced he's destined to be glued to Pettesson forever. The bottom line is it's a good price for a winger who over 90 playoff games has proven he's a playoffs guy.
Love this signing for the youngest player available for +$5 million in free agency. DeBrusk had an injured hand last season, so his scoring was down, until the playoffs where he was back to scoring clutch goals for Boston, so no worries there. The last couple of seasons he hasn't had an elite playmaking centre to feed him, so I expect him to fill the net for Vancouver. Tocchet is going to love having this guy on his bench.
When I hear these comments about scoring in the playoffs, it drives me crazy. You need to GET TO THE PLAYOFFS before even thinking about scoring in the playoffs. Debrusk might be the greatest playoff scorer in history but it's no used if you can't get to the playoffs

Bruins fan here. Jake is the most overrated Bruin of the last decade. 1 year from now they’ll be trying to unload that contract. Nice move 👍
Wtf 7 years!! 😂😂😂 what a 💩 signing. 18 mil for two players on one not so good line! What could possibly go wrong.
The nucks just got worse what were they thinking signing this guy for 7 years? They love overspending on free agents is Benning still in the building?
So is this Allvin team when they make bad decisions and Jim Rutherfords team when they make good decisions?

As our economies diverge, the US wealthier and Canada poorer, I can see the day when the Canadian teams just become a northern division of the AHL.
Yup we already have an overpaid forward who doesn't show up in the playoffs. Definitely can't have an another😂
Doesn’t matter who is put with petterson $ 11.6 millions man is a loser , petterson doesn’t show up for playoffs
When does he score again Rick???…….The playoffs?😂
The Canucks won the division with Mikheyev doing virtually nothing. They'll be fine everyone 😎
Not sold on JD from Bruins seems we allways get fucked when we get involved with Boston B Players
It’s a tradable contract if it doesn’t work
I could see him with JT Miller also

Prefer Boeser Miller Debrusk

Can Petey create some chemistry… Bloody higher priced player…
Canucks play for a city full of rejects from around the world.
