Sweeney usually locks up well known guys that him & the organization want before they hit the market. My guess is: Gone.

If he goes there will be trouble.
If he stays there will be double.

If he goes out west and we replace him with a top6 wing I’m okay with it. But if he’s staying east I would prefer it be here.

This feels a lot like the Torey Krug situation, the team made their offer and are happy to let him go to the market. I think he’s gone.

Should have made this a poll Wally!
Something like this would work:
Will this be the last Jake DeBrusk thread on this board? Yes or No.

When Sweeney said “Negotiations are a two-way street” with regards to Jake, that’s the moment that cemented it for me.
Last second things could happen, people’s minds change, but I’ve gone with assumption all year he was gone. That quote just reinforced it.
Debrusk is a good player, I believe he has a good career ahead of him. I just don’t think it continues here.

When I read that quote from Sweeney it led me to believe both sides were dug in and not negotiating in good faith. My question really became what was Sweeney’s goal in making the comment? Is he trying to push DeBrusk into a sweetheart hometown discount? Or was he preparing us the fans for DeBrusk’s coming departure? I'm leaning toward the latter. Just posturing.

Gone.
Feels like Sweeney’s statement was basically saying that they’ve probably already made a few offers with different concessions and Jake’s team hasn’t budged. Frankly, I don’t blame either side. Bruins know what they have in Debrusk and Debrusk knows what he’ll get in the open market. I just don’t want the Bruins paying open market prices for a guy that shows up every 4th regular season game.

When is the last time Sweeney spoke like that about someone and kept them? Just reading the tea leaves over the past few years it seems to me that both parties would like to get as far away from each other as possible. I really like Jake too, I wouldn't mind if they kept him at all.

We only know so much, like you said tea leaves is our best place to draw a conclusion.
Personally, I believe that if he wanted to be here, and they really wanted to keep him, the deal would be done already.
Sweeney has been pretty good about keeping the guys he wants to keep. I think Jake is a good player, I think he will have a good career wherever it is. I just don’t think it’s here anymore.

I wonder how much Zacha's contract is affecting negotiations with DeBrusk.

Can't agree more.
If he was smart he'd move on.
He would fit in nicely with Detroit or possibly even Chicago or Anaheim.

I wouldn't mind a mid player in the regular season who turns it on in the playoffs.
