Jake DeBrusk, on account of his lateness, found himself watching last night's game between the Bruins and the Kings from the spectator's perspective.
This situation may seem familiar to hockey fans, as a similar scenario played out with Tyler Seguin during his time in Boston. Not long after being benched, Seguin was traded to the Dallas Stars.
If DeBrusk is dissatisfied with the team's decision, he might consider requesting a trade. He had previously made such a request when Bruce Cassidy was the coach but withdrew it upon Montgomery's arrival in 2022.
Alternatively, should the Bruins become increasingly frustrated with DeBrusk's work ethic, they might explore trade options for him.
