Rival GM makes statement about Oilers top free agent target

Both sides have not had any discussions regarding a new contract for some time and the Bruins are preparing to move forward without him. Debrusk has been seeing his playing time reduced during the regular season which prompted speculation.

With this in motion, other teams have emerged to inquire about his services which include the Edmonton Oilers, their rival Calgary Flames, and the Seattle Kraken.

The Oilers have numerous free agents that are pending and with Jeff Jackson in the interim GM role, it's possible he make look at Debrusk to add to his soon depleted lineup. The Flames meanwhile are in turmoil and look to Debrusk to give their lines more stability and solid depth. DeBrusk can be a legitimate top 6 winger who could be a scoring threat alongside Leon Draisaitl, a need the Oilers have had for a long time. With Edmonton and Calgary as the two prime locations, it seems like DeBrusk wants to play in his home province.

The 27-year-old has just completed a two year 8 million dollar deal will seek similar money no matter which team.

All the fun begins on July 1st when unrestricted free agents are allowed to signed with new teams and it all begins at 12:00pm eastern.
