SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO FEEL? LOL. Well, we did something.
Unit_731_Survivor
That’s huge, I love having this guy locked up. Should be a decent fit with Miller or Petey
Gamesus10
What the fuck
electricnux
Us and Boston swapping players
norms_tw
holy shit????????
the canucks run a tight ship, how did no insider break this LOL
xHB4x
Guess we’re just swapping players with Boston now
-GregTheGreat-
I like it. He’s more of a very good middle-six than top six player but he feels like a perfect Tocchet player and should compliment Petey’s game.
kruizer28
Fair AAV
thejew62
7 years is a lot but he’ll be good for the top 6
anonymitylol
hey this is actually a pretty good contact
Ruilin96
So I guess Louie will be a complete Canuck homer now. His son signs with the team and good friends with Tocchet. He might leave the Edmonton broadcast to join the Canucks regional broadcast.

That’s a lot of term, I hope he can live upto the cap hit
chopkins92
He had 19 goals and 40 points last season. Feels like a bad contract on the surface. Am I wrong?

Allvin is in the kitchen!
Let’s go

Pure goal scorer, could provide huge value long term.

r/canucks literally minutes ago: “Ha, look at the prices, it’s good *we* aren’t handing out ridiculous contracts”

Post above said 7.75m please tell me it’s 5.5m
CanuckAddict94
Tell me how to feel
mediumyeet
Oooff don’t love that term.
At least he’s one of the younger UFA’s and brings speed and physicality. He should be a nice fit with either Petey or Miller.
Dstraka93
Omfg wow, ok Alvin I’ll shut up…
fitzygerald19
Fair AAV, I like the 7 year term that leaves him lots of wiggle room when he snipes with Petey or Miller

We’re slowly converting the SN/HNIC panel into Canucks homers.
Bieksa, Friedman, now Louie DeBrusk
Skateboard123
Everyone’s hyped? Interesting. He’s not that good
Strict-Caterpillar38
My initial gut reaction is I like it. Seems like a Tocchet player.
pigeonbobble
Marchessault money

7 years is a long time but he’s 27 so it’s about as young as you can be as a UFA. Much better than a guy who is 30 or older.
I feel like this is fair value, I still don’t love how long it is but he’s a solid middle 6 player and should complement either of the top six lines well
hobbesdidit
Hmm I guess this is the cost for 40 point players these days
Shaftell
Nice middle 6 player. He was on my list of players I hoped we would get. Good cap hit, kinda lengthy term though.
Couchfighter22
11 pts in 13 playoff games this year. 21 pts in 27 playoff games the last 3 years.
Captain_JT_Miller
So this looks like a Tocchet guy?
TGUKF
Debrusk turns 28 this fall, so in terms of age, handing him 7 years is not the end of the world. Going to be hilarious to see his dad not have to circlejerk the opposing team on HNIC now
Also, I think this was them hunting for a left hand shot for the PP. I’d expect to see Debrusk in Horvat’s old bumper spot.

**Very** Tocchet player. Physical, forechecks hard, has a good motor, decent north-south player offensively (but don’t expect him to drive a line). Consistently elevates his game in the playoffs, has a game built for them.
Probably not a stylistic match for Pettersson, but would look very good on Miller’s flank.
Cap hit feels a bit dear especially by last year’s cap % standards, but term plays a big role here…cap is expected to continue to rise, and DeBrusk is only 27. You hope to get 5 consistent/good years out of him here.
A fair contract. Not exceptional, but one of the better options available given the player’s age and playing style.
Black_Raven__
Love that guy play. Hes got everything especially the playoff grit.
McBarnacle
Sometimes you just have to say Allvin might know better than you.
I think Allvin has earned trust with the fanbase. So I’m all for DeBrusk. He might blossom under Tocchet style
Obvious-Property-236
I feel like the Canucks believe Petey, or miller, can make this guy a 30 goal scorer therefore it is a bargain deal.
Considering the options in the UFA I think they had no other choice. Big names were not going to sign here unless they were overpaid, and Boeser’s contract is up very soon so the Canucks probably felt we couldn’t do that.
Mixed feelings about this.
Shop-lift
I’m glad the Leaf Killer is going to other certified Toronto Haters. Best of luck with him and Heinen 🫡
fastcurrency88
I’ve always liked Debrusk. Kid plays hard. Always shows up for the playoffs and absolutely kills the leafs every time. You have to give to get. I think he will look great in our top 6.
happigofucky
Super happy to have a winger that can score next year but this is a terrible fucking deal.
straight dawgs like Perron and arvidsson going for 4mx2 while we get saddled with another long term deal that is gonna look terrible if he ever gets injured.
This Canada tax is the death of me
Zylavier
Debrusk is one of the best defensive forwards in the game, a consistent 20 goal scorer and a 50ish point player. Pretty good deal. He’s only 27 too……JTM vibes?
plushie-apocalypse
Came here to lament about losing Teravainen, but DeBrusk was the other guy I hoped we’d land. Yeah!!
Captain_JT_Miller
DeBrusk has been on the Canucks radar for awhile it seems. Petey getting some gritty wingers.

Zero heads up about this. Our management runs a tight ship and I love it.
