Sportsnet NHL insider Elliotte Friedman reports that Bruins GM Don Sweeney is seeking an established forward or defenseman in exchange for DeBrusk.
From Friedman's latest "32 Thoughts" column:
Boston is definitely willing to do a Jake DeBrusk deal, but on its terms. They are looking for the best defenceman/forward they can find, and are unafraid to take a chance on a younger player. But they are telling potential partners that they value DeBrusk, and won't make what they feel is a bad deal because the trade request is now public.
